Thank you so much to those who participated in this giveaway. Darcy Pattison is an excellent speaker as well as being a talented author of children’s literature. What I love most about Prairie Storms is that some of my favorite animals are featured in this book. In addition, the back is full of extended learning possibilities; a perfect addition for home and classroom settings. Darcy captures the non-fiction prairie in a creative way. How animals are affected and live in storms becomes entertaining. Kathleen Rietz paints prairie life in a realistic, warm capture…setting an inviting stage…even though the environment is sometimes chilling.
I enjoy Prairie Storms so much and am honored to host this giveaway.
And Our Winners Are…

Congratulations to the winners. Yay!
Michelle, I keep seeing “+1” on my blog posts and have no clue what they mean, but thank you very much. Your profile didn’t link to this blog so it took a while to find you. But I did! 😀
Thanks so much, Michelle. I received the book today! Check out my website tomorrow (5/25) my blog post about it.
Great Jennifer! That was quick. I applaud USPS for an overnight delivery! And yes, I’ll be traveling to your website tomorrow to see the news. Cheers! Michelle
Dear Michelle,
I received Darcy Pattison’s Prairie Storms today (May 24) and read the book right away. It is well written and has lots of information about how different animals react to stormy weather. The educational supplement in the back gives children more details about weather patterns. Prairie Storms’ illustrations depict the animals in action and in retreat from storms. The front cover has two deer, a lizard, a cougar, and a woodchuck looking out at the reader as a lightning bolt flashes in the sky. This design invites a child to open this book to explore the world of these animals.
Thank you for sending me this great book! Best wishes!

Congrats to Jennifer and Janet!
