Review & Giveaway: “Best in Show” Children’s Book CLOSED

August 9, 2011 by  
Filed under Giveaways

**This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to Misty, Lanae, and Bridget, our winners!**

Even though our two dogs are as mixed as mixed breed dogs could be and we wouldn’t have it any other way, we still love to watch dog shows on TV. Every time we watch the shows, we learn something new about the wide spectrum of breeds that make up the dog world.

If you’ll be watching a dog show with a child, we’ve discovered a book that would be great to read with a child before the show. The fictional Best in Show (Walker Publishing Company) follows Abby and her poodle Gem as they learn what it takes to be a show dog and a dog handler.

Written by Karen LeFrak, a breeder of champion poodles (including a Westminster Non-Sporting Group winner), this book for preschool through second graders would help inspire all young dog lovers to help in the care of their dog, whether they are interested in becoming a junior handler or not. Dog lover Martha Stewart said of this book, “Not only is the book fun, it is highly informative and instructive. It is great for any dog fancier.”

How to Win

We’ve got three copies of this book to give away! This giveaway is open to US and Canada readers and ends at 12:01am on 8/31/11. You’ll find several ways to enter below…good luck!
