Giveaway! LeapFrog Tag Reader

And now, for something completely different!

I’ve gotten such a cool opportunity for a giveaway, I’m all excited to share it with you. You see, it’s National Reading Month, and I’m not sure there are many causes more worthy of celebration. M and I were both big readers growing up, wasting pair after pair of batteries in our flashlights, reading entirely too late into the night. We can only hope to inspire the same willful disobedience in our kids, who seem to be getting a good start as they ask for more and more stories every night (and morning, and afternoon). For as tiring as two toddlers can be, I can never turn down a request to read a book.

Well, the folks at LeapFrog are all over this. Head over to their National Reading Month page and you can pledge to read a certain number of hours with your kids this month. And to celebrate, they’re letting little ol’ me give away one of their Tag Readers. It comes bundled with three books, including The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs & Ham. How cool! I think it’s great to have more ways for different kids to interact with books, and this is a nifty tool to help encourage independence in young readers. (Not to mention like a $75 value……)

Here’s the rules for the giveaway. First, check out Christy’s review at About.com’s Family Computing site. Leave a comment below between now and Sunday, March 22 at 5pM Eastern, telling me one thing you learned about the Tag Reader from that review that you didn’t know before, and also what book you most hope they have included in their library.

For additional entries, you can tweet all about it (just don’t forget to include me: @etowndz), and/or write your own blog post and be sure to link back here. Just leave an additional comment for each additional entry (no more than one Twitter entry per person, per day, please).

Remember, this ends next Sunday! Good luck!
