Alphaboat - A Giveaway

by Naomi

March 03, 2009

We have recently become fans of everything Michael Chesworth.  After some of his books were featured during a recent library storytime, we have soaked up all we can of his books!

Alphaboat (currently our favorite Chesworth book) is an amazing combination of great puns (you'll marvel in amazement at these!) as well as artfully visualized jokes:

Not only is this my kiddos' first choice for a book to read, I sure don't mind reading it to them!

Not only is this book impressive and entertaining, but it is also educational.  We find something new every time we open the front cover, that we missed the time before.

Michael Chesworth has been illustrating children's books since 1989 and hit a home run when not only illustrating, but also writing Alphaboat himself.  Also on his list of "authored" and illustrated books is Rainy Day Dream.

This book will allow you to teach your children about the English language and rhymes, as well as provide great snuggle time with your littles.

I have to admit, we are huge fans of the library because it enables us to read loads of books in a cost-effective way ... however ... since learning of Michael Chesworth, we are adding the entire list of his books to our "wish lists".  We will be proudly displaying all things Chesworth on our bookshelves!

Would you like a chance to win your very own copy?

Simply email tracinghandprints@gmail.com letting us know the title of another Michael Chesworth illustrated book.  The winner will be chosen and notified directly on March 5th, 2009.
