Teachers of preschool, kindergarten, and grades 1 or 2–I need you! In return for your help, you can win a stack of free books for your classroom.
You heard me…I said, “FREE BOOKS!”
What I’m asking of you: Just poll one or more of your preschool, kindergarten, or grade 1 or 2 classes about “Things Kids Love” and send that list to me to before midnight on January 31, 2023. Use the form here: https://www.onlypicturebooks.com/contact/
**The more specific the items on your list, the better. For example, “toys” is far less interesting/helpful than, say, “Super Soakers,” “LEGOs,” or “Mr. Potato Head.”**
Tell me about those free books!!!: On February 1, 2023, I’ll draw 10 teacher names at random from all entries, and each of those 10 winners will receive a free stack of 10 books (most are picture books, but some are early readers or chapter books).
**Shipping to US only—sorry!**
Can I increase my chances of getting some of those much-ballyhooed free books?: For one additional entry, poll your class about “Things Kids Don’t Like” and send me that list before the January 31, 2022 deadline, too. **Entrants can only win one set of books, but this would increase your chance of winning anything!**
What are you doing with this information?: I’ll be compiling all the results (anonymously) into lists that appear as a free resource via a post or two for writers, teachers, librarians, and parents right here at www.OnlyPictureBooks.com
Do you have an example of what you’re looking for? Yes, indeed. Check out these links–I’m essentially creating up-to-date versions of these terrific lists.

I’m not a preschool, kindergarten, or grade 1 or 2 teacher. Can I still win books?: Not this time, sorry! But you can earn yourself some literary karma by sharing this opportunity with a preschool, kindergarten, or grade 1 or 2 teacher,
