Hey everyone! It's a Bloggy Giveaway Carnival! Basically what that means is that HUNDREDS (literally I'm #459) of blogs are giving stuff away this next week. All you have to do to win is leave a comment with your name and email on the posts. I'd love it if in your comment you'd tell me what you like about my blog and if there's anything that would make it more enticing to read. Thanks! :)
So here's what I'm giving away. Seeing as I'm a teacher and this blog is called Lessons Learned, I'm giving away my three favorite children's books (ok, there are way more than 3, but these are definitely at the top of my list. And I know it said five. I lied. Or spoke too soon. Either way, sorry!). This is a tough one, but here's what will be included:
1. The Judge: An Untrue Tale (ages 4-8)
2. The Tale of Desperaux (ages 9-12)
3. The Giver (young teens)
Winner will be announced Apri 27. Comments will be closed on April 26th at midnight! Happy commenting :)
While you're here, here are a few of my favorite past posts:

And here are all the other giveaways!

These sound great. I've read The Giver; I'd love to set it aside for my kids to enjoy one day soon. Thanks! ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )
I love The Giver. May I have these books, ?please
What a wonderful giveaway! I have a 4 year old granddaughter and these books would be a great gift to give to her. :-)
I'm in seminary at Southeastern Baptist getting my Masters of Divinity in Christian Ministry. It's just a general seminary degree and I don't particularly plan on using it in the traditional sense, but will of ourse be using what I learn in all sorts of unofficial ways. I like your blog!
I've never heard of the first two books you've mentioned. I did greatly enjoy the Giver when I was a kid!
Hey I really like children's book's maybe I'll win!!!!
My kids would LOVE these books. Thank you so much!!!
I can be reached at the URL attached to my name. THANKS!!!
We love reading in my family- thanks so much!

I would love to own The Tale of Desperaux. I love that author.
I've never read any of these--and I'm into children's lit.!
Thanks!
I like your passport story. Thanks for having the giveaway!
Wonderful! :)
I have been wanting to purchase The Tale of Desperauex for my kids. I have heard it was a great story.
As for your blog...in these giveaways, it is usually an in and out situation. Of the hundreds I see, during each giveaway session, there are only a rare few that catch my eye (or funny bone or whatever), that I choose to add to my blog roll to come back to. Yours is one (of only two thus far) that I have chosen to add this time around. It doesn't mean the other blogs aren't wonderful, but I only have so much time to read blogs and have to be very selective. Your blog caught my interest enough that I want to come back and check it out again later when the frenzy subsides. I think it was the piece about George Clooney that really got me. That was hilarious. I noticed a few similarities between us and I like that you have a sense of humour that makes your blog worth a second look for me.
I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

Jen, your blog is so much fun to read! I love all your Pre-K stories . . . if only all of us had work environments that were that entertaining! I've only heard of "The Giver" on your list (and have read it - it is soooo good!), so I will have to pick those other 2 up if I don't win your giveaway!
Do you love Carrie Underwood? I love that song your title is from. I love to read and am trying to help my 4 kids to love it too. Hope I win!
I love the header of your blog! Please count me in the draw!
My daughter would love any of these books!
We're just starting our little family, so would love to start stocking up on our library of great kids' books!
oh wow...a free book...love that. Hannah LOVES the Judge she still has it memorized. She loves to recite it...jmzheaa@sbcgloabl.net
I love your header! Those all sound like great books.
I love books! I loved your post may not be suitable for young viewers too. I loved that picture! I taught preschool until last year when I had to take some time off because I had twins. Never a dull moment, huh?
Great giveaway! Books are priceless, especially good ones!

I can never have too many books for kids! Thanks for the giveaway!
As a hs mom, we would love these books!
I like your header!
I'm a reading specialist and semi-retired teacher (raising kids right now instead) and I love books too! :) These are great ones and I'd love to win!
I live in Houston too!
Please don't enter me in the giveaway because I already have 2 of the books. I just wanted to gush about how I Love, Love, Love both the Tale of Despereaux and The Giver!
Both destined to be classics!
This would be great to win! I have a family of book lovers.
I loved the Giver and I have been wanting to read the tale of Desperaux.
i have my daughter in preschool and we have a reading program we read 10 books a week so this would be nice for her she loves storytime i like youre blog it sounds like you have alot of energyi dont know how you do it
Please don't sign me up, but I just had to comment. The Giver is one of my all time favorite books. Especially as a teacher :) It's so simple yet so eloquent. I'm glad my senior English teacher had us read that one (and I hated all the rest!).
lovely books
we lov reading

I was definitely drawn to your blog by your title...it is so important for us to learn lessons every day. I have not heard of these books. We are currently working our way through the Magic Treehouse series. Thanks for the entry.
What a great giveaway! I'd love to win. Thanks and please enter mine, too!
You can't have too many books! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh...I love children's books. I think my all-time favorite is 'The Snowy Day'. Your blog is great; especially like the colorful heading & your tagline, too.
Great poem on the holy dunking!
I have kids in all of those age groups right now. I'd love to add to our library.
Kids books are one of my favorite giveaways!!!
I love it... Thanks for offering this to us!
Enter me, too!
I love blogs that have photos, they catch my eye and want me to read more.
Thanks for the giveaway! I love your "Just Another Week In Pre-K" post. I laughed out loud! Especially since my 4yo daughter is really on a rhyming kick lately, I could really picture the exact same situation happening all too easily! I'd love to win this set of books to have on hand as my daughter grows older. :)
I love books--the Giver is so excellent! My email addy is in my blogger profile, in case I win.
I like your blog and can see you enjoy the things you do!

Great giveaway! Count me in. bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
Great selection of books!
I love reading about your teaching, it's really refreshing! I'm currently working on my master's thesis that deals with guided reading and read-aloud, so I can relate to your love of children's lit! Thanks for the entry!
I love your header - very pretty and unique.
I love this giveaway. Books are the best and Kate DiCamillo is one of my favorites.

I'd love to read these books! I've never heard of any of them but am always on the lookout for good books.
gitrecca(at)gmail(dot)com
That sounds awesome. I haven't heard of the first one.
Hi there! I'm a runner too, and I wish I had an answer as to why some days are easier than others. I wonder if it has to do with recovery & exertion?
Anyway, I haven't read any of those books, although I've been meaning to read The Giver for awhile now.
I think 4 year olds are just about the most wonderful aged kids ever. I enjoy reading about your adventures with them.
Thanks for hosting such a fun giveaway.

What I like about your blog-I'm a kindergarten teacher and it's always fun to read other teacher's 'kid' stories!
Great books! Thanks for the giveaway!
Great gift, thanks!
Love the slide show. Love the blog on pre-k bras. I totally related. My 9 year old wants a bra. Why? Because her second grade friend has a bra. My daughter has explained that she could even stuff her bra. I think that I will get her some helly roller shoes instead.
I love your blog...just found it but I'll be back because you make me laugh. Being a retired teacher I can really appreciate some of the comments. I really miss them. Pre-k size bras truly cracked me up.
I'd love to win your giveaway since my daughter's dear friend is just beginning her career as a teacher and is starting her own personal collection and I would give them to her.
Thanks for a great giveaway! I hope I'm the lucky winner! :)
click my name and u will see my email addy
The Giver is a great book. didnt read it till i was 45, along with my daughter. vg thnx
