Tons of entries to sort through and format, I apologize for the delay... Winner of the 24 children's books was kellytirman, who entered right here on Forgotten Bookmarks. Thanks to everyone who entered.

Friday Giveaway: contest closed

With Forgotten Bookmarks, Jr. (my first) due in a few months, I've already started thinking about the library I'll put together for the little squirt. As I was making my list, I thought it would be a great idea to offer up a similar selection of children's classics for all of you. The pictures above show what I came up with - by no means a complete library, but not a bad start.

Contest closed, results announced in a moment.
