WIN SCAMPERS!
Everyone and anyone who wants to be a critical thinker needs to understand the scientific method. Perhaps a certain Cheeto-in-Chief would have taken a different path if he’d only learned this lesson. But maybe it’s not too late! Maybe if you win this book, you could send it to him. He and his henchmen could do experiments to understand the difference between fact and fiction.
But wait, it’s still a book, even if it does have pictures. There are still words to be read. And I forgot for a moment that our Cheeto-in-Chief doesn’t read. His gut tells him things, kind of like a psychic. So I guess that leaves him in the group of frightened mice who believe the owl is real. Maybe that owl is a metaphor for a wall. Maybe. Maybe it’s late, and I’m rambling.
In any case, go enter to win Mike Allegra’s new book, Scampers Thinks Like a Scientist! All you have to do is answer one thought-provoking question. I hear there’s going to be another science march. Once you read this book, you’ll be prepared. Your children/students will be prepared. But don’t expect the Cheeto-in-Chief to listen. Happy Reading!
It’s time to win a signed, hardcover copy my new picture book: Scampers Thinks Like A Scientist!
Scampers Thinks Like a Scientist is the book that received a five-star review from Foreward Reviews. It’s the book that nabbed a glowing notice from the difficult-to-please Kirkus. And it’s the book that stars the cutest mouse in the history of ever.
Oh. My. God. Just look at that widdle face!
So let’s get started!
How To Enter
To enter the Scampers drawing, all you need to do is leave a comment below that answers this question:
Which fictional character would you most want to have as a next-door neighbor?
That’s it! Leave a comment and you’ll be entered in the random drawing for Scampers!
But Wait!
Do you already have a copy of Scampers? That’s great! Thank you!
Enter the contest anyway.
After all, if you win, you can…
