Cheerios 100,000 Book Giveaway
I love General Mills and grew up eating Cheerios. Cheerios is a basic staple in a house with 3 little ones! We not only have a steady supply of Cheerios, but we also have an assortment of children’s book, which they love to read through. They really enjoy it when I read them book as well! Access to books is essential to your child’s reading development. I’ve even noticed my son’s school promoting the importance of reading. His homework is to have an adult read a book (or books) with him each night.
Through my experience with General Mills’ 100,000 Book Promotion, I learned that over 80 percent of childcare centers serving low-income children are lacking in age-appropriate reading materials. Plus, a recent study showed that the ratio of books per child in middle income neighborhoods is 13 to 1 , while in low-income neighborhoods, the ratio is 1 age-appropriate book for every 300 children. Yikes!
Thanks to the Cheerios family of cereals, First Book, and Jon Scieszka, author of the popular “Trucktown” series and other children’s books, a new program has been initiated. They are joining together to deliver 100,000 books to community-based programs serving children in need and they would love your help! All you have to do is go online with your child and test your combined knowledge of children’s books by answering trivia questions related to “Trucktown” and other great children’s books.
For every trivia question answered correctly, you can cast one vote for the state you would like to receive books. The five states receiving the most votes will get 20,000 books each for a total of 100,000 books. Be sure to visit their site today!!!
1 lucky reader on The Mommy-Files will win a 100,000 Book Prize Pack including an assortment of books from Cheerios, one of the many varieties of Cheerios Cereals, and a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble!!!

There’s a Hand in the Sky by Oscar de Mejo
We’re big Roald Dahl book fans here!!
When my kids were toddlers (I still have 1 in the house
they Loved Dr. Seuss. He is a legend in our house. We own DOZENS Of books by him. Also the movies. I used to read them a book every single night before bed time. Some of the books even have great morals. If you don’t like Dr. Seuss, go to a doctor, you have problems 
.
My son loved “Goodnight Moon”. I could read it to him ten times and he still wanted “just one more”. I love that book and all the wonderful memories it gave me.
You got my vote for Top Mommy Blog! Hope you win!

I love Eric Carle!
My favorite child author? Shel Silverstien…. He was so funny and those books “Where the Sidewalk Ends” helped grow my desire to memorize poetry.
I always loved the book “Robert the Rose Horse” about a horse with allergies. As a kid with allergies, I could relate.
