November 26, 2007 | Contests
Are you ready for Want Not’s biggest contest so far? Are you ready for a shot at a prize worth nearly $180 that will make a child in your life happy for an entire year?
I have connections, my pretties. Yes I do. One of my connections is a devastatingly beautiful lady over at Scholastic who has decided to offer one lucky Want Not reader an entire year’s subscription to the Scholastic Kids Gift of the Month Club of the winner’s choosing.
Follow the link to read all about it, but basically you choose a club—there are themes and levels to suit kids of all ages—and get a pack of books and goodies each month. Choose from Baby Einstein, Nick Jr., Build-A-Bear, Ultimate Magic, or Veggie Tales. Twelve monthly deliveries of Scholastic goodness… if there’s something both mom and kids will enjoy more, I don’t know what it is.
Sound good? One winner will be chosen at random. To enter, leave a comment on this post by 11:59 pm on Tuesday, November 27th, 2007. One comment per person, please. And might I suggest that the subject of your comment be how rockin’ the Scholastic folks are? Because they totally are.
Good luck! And… go!

November 26th, 2007 at 6:59 amWe love books. We ordered way too many from Scholastic when my daughter brought home the order booklet at the beginning of the school year - but that doesn’t mean we have enough of them!! A whole year of books … (rubs hands and starts gloating over the thought)
Pretty, pretty Mir, oh yes!
November 26th, 2007 at 7:02 amThe fine folks at Scholastic are truly awesome — as are you, Mir!

Thanks, pretty-pretty!
November 26th, 2007 at 7:37 amI LOVE Scholastic. My son once spent $75 of HIS money at the Scholastic sale at school! He loves books that much. I helped him out by volunteering at the bookfair so he could get 10% off.

November 26th, 2007 at 7:40 amI Love Scholastic and I know my little pre schooler would to!

November 26th, 2007 at 7:44 amI’ve always wanted to try one of these year packs…hope I win!
November 26th, 2007 at 7:44 amScholastic Rocks! I remember ordering from them as a kid. I used to love getting those catalogs at school, my parents always bought me a book!
November 26th, 2007 at 7:47 amwe love scholastic here!
November 26th, 2007 at 7:48 amWe have two toddlers and, if God wills, plan to have many more. These would be great resources that would be used for years to come! Thanks for all of the fun contests!
November 26th, 2007 at 7:49 amThey DO rock - when I was a kid, we didn’t have much money, but mom let me always order stuff from the Arrow Book Club (part of Scholastic) when the lists came around the classroom, it was like Christmas every time!
Though that was how I was exposed to H.P. Lovecraft in 4th grade . . .
November 26th, 2007 at 7:50 amI have three little ones and we adore Scholastic books. I think they sleep with 5 of them in each of their beds!!
November 26th, 2007 at 7:50 amPlease please pick me so I can keep their interest in books growing.
I love to purchase Scholastic Books for my twin daughters and for their teachers. We also look forward to the Scholastic book fair our school has each year. My girls attend a charter school and every little bit helps. Huge thanks to Scholastic for providing great products at reasonable prices and for all they do for schools.
November 26th, 2007 at 7:51 amThis IS the most excellent prize ever!
November 26th, 2007 at 7:53 amScholastic has so many wonderful choices. I read to my 2 yr old all the time.
Awesome idea for a giveaway.

November 26th, 2007 at 7:56 amAfter that great Weekly Reader deal, how could I not comment on this offer? Especially as my now 8 week old son will love this sort of stuff be for too long.

November 26th, 2007 at 8:07 amI LOVE Scholastic. Both for the cheap but great quality books AND because they employ a fair number of the parents and grandparents in our school district!

They are indeed “rockin”- they published Harry Potter….
November 26th, 2007 at 8:14 amhooray for books!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:20 amI used to pay for my books from the Scholastic flyer in elementary school using pennies. I love Scholastic! My teacher probably dreaded receiving my order though. Hee hee.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:21 amScholastic Rules TV Droolz. And generous to boot.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:24 amWe love Scholastic here too!! What an awesome contest, Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:24 amWe love Scholastic. Thank you, Mir.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:24 amWe love Scholastic in our house! Book Sale coming up next week! LOL.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:25 amAs a librarian, I can attest that the folks at Scholastic are the best. Their support for libraries and media centers is unparalelled, and their selection of wonderful books just keeps getting better. My son would adore this surprise!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:25 amWe love the Scholastic books in our house as well!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:27 amWe are the family that gets twitchy with nothing to read. It is a day for celebration, joy and singing when a new book order from from Scholastic comes in. The book clubs are great and Scolastic really is the best.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:30 amScholastic is wonderful!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:31 amOooh, that’s awesome. Scholastic books were always my favourite.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:31 amAZ hearts Scholastic. I’m in.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:33 amWhen I was young, my mom was the lady who sorted the books when the Scholastic order came in every month. I would sit at the kitchen table and breathe in the smell of new paper and ink as deeply as I could. Yay warm, fuzzy early reading memories!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:39 amWe love Scholastic in our house, too! My 5 year old daughter is an avid reader - when asked “what is your favorite thing to do?” She replies “reading!” Thanks pretty Mir for the opportunity to win this awesome gift!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:40 amI couldn’t live without scholastic books! As a pediatric speech therapist they help alot of my speech and language delayed clients as well as my children with autism. A full years worth of scholastic books..sounds like heaven to me!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:41 amAwesome! We’d love them at our house…
November 26th, 2007 at 8:43 amCount me and my brood in …we Love books!

November 26th, 2007 at 8:45 amPretty Mir, how nice of you and Scholastic! We’ve always been fans of them in our house, and my daughter would be just thrilled to get stuff coming to her IN THE MAIL.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:47 amScholastic rocks!

November 26th, 2007 at 8:54 amI heart Scholastic. Winning this would make me the coolest aunt ever!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:54 amCount me in!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:00 amSeriously great prize this time!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:04 amPlease pick us and feed our book addiction. I remember using my allowance on the order forms that were distributed in school when I was a kid. I have even managed to save some of the books I purchased (lets say over 20 years ago) to pass on to my kids. Now they are spending their chore money on books from Scholastic too!
I just put in a Scholastic order at for my son at his nursery school. After 20 years teaching (and staying at home now) I was going through withdrawal!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:05 amYay! Books are good! Wantnot is good! Scholastic is good! Count me in!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:08 amYes, please!! We love books!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:09 amI love Scholastic! My son would love the magic club.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:11 amHow awesome! My DD is only in preschool, but I already *LOVE* Scholastic. One can never have too many books!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:12 amFree books? Sign me up! We’ve got a kid who loves to read, with parents who are tired of the 50 books we have. Some new stories would be fantastic!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:12 amPlease pick me! You are so pretty!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:13 amMir is so pretty and the Scholastic lady is almost as pretty as Mir.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:16 amI love Scholastic. They are the best out there. Thanks for sharing!!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:16 amoohhh!!! Me me me!! My daughter goes to bed an hour earlier than she actually goes to sleep and it’s all thanks to the books!!! And she’s not even quite three!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:16 amI homeschool my 3 boys and we love books! One of my fondest memories of school is the scholastic book club. What a great prize.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:17 amWow, what a great giveaway! My 2 yr olds are clamoring for more books!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:18 amMy youngest son is just learning to read and is all ready getting bored with the book collection we have from his older brother…Scholastic to the rescue…please!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:19 amLove love love Scholastic books!!!! Thansk!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:20 amI’m weeping a little because this is SO fantastic! Scholastic, I heart thee very much!

November 26th, 2007 at 9:23 amplease, pretty please???

November 26th, 2007 at 9:23 amReading rocks in my house! Scholastic has been the source of many of our books. Winning this prize would be an awesome treat! Thanks!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:23 amSweet! This is great, thanks Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:25 amWow, Scholastic will pull me from Lurkerdom. I LOVE your sites and can’t miss a day. And my son Loves Scholastic clubs and books.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:25 amBeth
I’m commenting and hoping! Scholastic is fantastic!!!!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:26 amScholastic Rocks!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:28 amWOW..we love Scholastic! Thanks!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:29 amI grew up in a family whose wealth didn’t extend to monetary matters. But somehow the folks always found a way for us to be able to pick out some scholastic books when the flyers came home from school. And now as I sort through the ancestral home I am finding some of those well loved and oft read books. My granddaughter and I read them together as I am in charge of carefully turning the fragile pages. While the pages may be brittle, the memories are quite strong and the respect for a company that made this possible continues to grow.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:32 am4 kids, homeschooler, husband soon unemployed.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:35 amMir, What I love most about Scholastic is that I remember as a child ordering their books and loving the treat of getting a “brand new book all my own” and I can still pass on that joy and quality to my 4 little readers. Great contest!!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:36 amoh me!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:38 amWe love Scholastic too. I have a one year old punk who LOVES to read. He could read all day, every day if his mother had the patients and the time!!! Thanks, Mir.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:44 amComment comment!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:47 amMy little Stinkerbell is too little to read…but my dear stepson would love a steady flow of books.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:47 amScholastic is rocking, that’s for sure! This is a great great idea!!!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:50 amI loved getting the Scholastic fliers when I was in school. This would be a great package to win for my homeschooled son so he will also have happy memories of Scholastic.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:51 amBooks? WOW!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:51 amWow.. count me in!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:52 amOur nephew is a Veggie Tales fiend!
Scholastic Rox!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:52 amOh My goodness…am I halucinating???
Please sign me up!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:56 amPlease count me in. Thanks!!!!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:57 amOoh, yeah, Scholastic! Pick me! Pick me!
Thanks, Mir …
November 26th, 2007 at 9:57 amAs a former teacher you better bet I’m a fan of Scholastic. This would be an awesome gift for my little bookworm… please count us in! Thanks Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:57 amAnother Scholastic fan here! I grew up with Scholastic Book Orders (its probably what started my love of shopping and catalogs!!:)) and now as a 5th grade teacher in a low budget district, its how i subsidize my classroom library inexpensively. My class loves the new books that come each month, and now my son is starting to enjoy his first scholastic books as well. They’ve really got something for everyone! Thanks, Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:58 amWe think Scholastic is awesome!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:00 amScholastic Rocks!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:00 amMmmmmmm…..booooooks. We love books, and Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:01 amyea yea. me too. Scholastic Rocks! COunt me in.
November 26th, 2007 at 10:01 amI love Scholastic- those fliers were something I always looked forward to as a kid!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:01 amIs the offer still good in Canada? Great contest!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:04 amI love this gift! Books are the greatest gift ever! My daughter would be so thrilled to win this! I also overuse exclamation points! Who knew! Thanks!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:04 amScholastic rocks! This would be an awesome gift for my little readers. Count me in!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:04 amBooks! Awesome!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:04 amOh holy cow! They do rock! We buy these gift packs occasionally from the kids school and they love them!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:05 amWe love Scholastic in our house, although I have never joined one of their clubs. Thanks for another contest Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:05 amI am a scholastic junkie. Those flyers that come home with my daughter from school are like crack for me. I guess this would be supporting my “habit”, but for free!!!!!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:06 amOh pretty, pretty Mir and the lovlies at Scholastic! My Young Reader would love a gift of your books!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:07 amI work my buns off (I wish!) at our schools scholastic book sales, and of course buy many books through them too! My kids and I love Scholastic book offerings! I also have a dear friend who had her first children’s book published by Scholastic - Canada, so yeah - they ROCK!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:10 amI have to admit when the kids come home from school with their Scholastic flyers it’s not just the kids that get excited. I have a soon to be two year old who would just love to get Baby Einstein every month. Thanks for the chance Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:10 amThis would be AWESOME!
Thanks to you and Scholastic for offering it!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:13 amScholastic is a favorite around these parts! I use books I got from Scholastic as a kid for MY kids… Pretty pretty Mir and devastatingly beautiful woman from Scholastic ROCK!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:18 amAnd I just sent money with my daughter to school this am for the Scholastic Book Fair there. I’d take more, though. We love the Scholastic Books.
November 26th, 2007 at 10:23 amOh please oh please super rocking cool Scholastic Book Club….Brady truly does like to “talk to tomatoes…” and I just know he and his sister, Molly would adore a visit from the Veggie Tales book fairy every month!
Oh, and Mir (you pretty, pretty southern peach you) thanks so much for helping me with all my shopping this holiday!
annie…but really Barbara
November 26th, 2007 at 10:25 amI have an 18 month old grand daughter who loves books and likes nothing better than someone reading to her. What a great gift this would be for her!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:27 amMy grandson would LOVE to receive this great Scholastic gift. Thanks for the giveaway.
November 26th, 2007 at 10:27 amdaaaang! that’s a great deal! both of you must be beautiful!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:29 amI would like to win this.
November 26th, 2007 at 10:30 amScholastic? Woohoo! You can’t beat their great books and deals.
November 26th, 2007 at 10:31 amScholastic rocks! Hooray for books! Written words are wonderful!
I’ve entered most of the contests here, but this is one I’d really, really like to win. Dorian is not yet five years old, but he’s a competent and voracious reader; he’s currently devouring the Magic School Bus series (published by, you guessed it, Scholastic) and it warms my nerdy mama heart to watch him sit and read to himself for an hour or more at a time.
P.S. Mir, you are looking exceptionally pretty today. Dorian agrees.
November 26th, 2007 at 10:33 amMy newborn would love the Baby Einstein…Please pick me!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:36 amWe love Scholastic at our house! Now that I homeschool my kids I miss getting the bookorders sent home every month!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:36 amI can never bring myself to join those bookclubs for kids…particularly since my daughter is NOT wanting to read and is falling below grade level. This hurts me much because I LOVE reading. This would be an ideal thing for her - to get books regularly and learn to read them because she LIKES them.
November 26th, 2007 at 10:40 amI LOVE SCHOLASTIC BOOKS!! The only downside of homeschooling is no scholastic book club (fortunatly have neighbors who let me order from thier’s - so the school still benifits and so do I!)
November 26th, 2007 at 10:40 amYep, we love Scholastic. How dinosaurs do things is a subject of intense interest at our house these days.
Thanks!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:42 amPick me, pick me!!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:42 amPick me! Pick me!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:43 amMy 4-year old daughter just discovered the joy of reading books by herself. She also loves checking out the mailbox to see if there is anything in it for her. The book club would be a wonderful way to put a smile on her face each month!
Thanks for these neat contests!!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:44 amMy daughter would LOVE to get new books every month for an entire year! Whenever she brings home the scholastic order form from school, she always has the clubs circled (as well as just about EVERY SINGLE BOOK). But yeah, we’ve bought some because the prices are just unbeatable, but we haven’t gone for a club yet.
November 26th, 2007 at 10:44 amWouldn’t this be fun? We just had to cancel our kids’ subscriptions to the Stuart Brent Children’s Book Club for financial reasons. They’d love to get new books in the mail.
November 26th, 2007 at 10:47 amScholastic is great and so is this sight. It’s on my daily webrounds =)
November 26th, 2007 at 10:49 amPick me! Pick ME!
I used to love the scholastic book orders at school!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:49 amMy daughter loves to get things in the mail, and you can’t beat Scholastic’s stuff!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:50 amVeggie Tales, please oh pretty one!!!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:52 amMe, Me! I was disturbingly excited when we received our first Scholastic book order from the Wee One’s preschool. It’s given my husband one more thing to tease me about, as if he were short on ammo.
November 26th, 2007 at 10:55 amBusy working from home mom of 5! (count ‘em) 5! Scholastic book loving kids would love to win. I love Want Not, I love Scholastic, I love the peace and quiet reading kids brings my home! Please pick us!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:56 amwe love scholastic here!
November 26th, 2007 at 10:57 amI NEED this for my daughter. My husband is going to have a come apart if I don’t quit buying books-but my daughter loves them-and they are educational right?
November 26th, 2007 at 10:57 amI love Scholastic! They not only have Harry Potter (which, what more do you need?) but they give tons of free books to teachers for their classrooms, and always have a selection on their book orders for 99 cents or sometimes even 50 cents so that every kid can get something from the book order.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:00 amWe LOVE Scholastic. I got in on one of the deals you posted last year and we’ve been enjoying those books and CDs all year!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:00 amYay for Scholastic!
We LOVE all of your awesome deals, and Scholastic, too! Thanks for all you do for us!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:01 amOh dear…not sure how I’d choose between books for my 7yo, who reads everything in sight, and her 4yo sister, who just started reading sentences and makes me squee every time I listen to her. I guess I’ll cross that bridge if I come to it.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:05 amI would love this. We read every night that we don’t have a valid excuse not to, but my new valid excuse is lack of new books. I have been going to the library, but my husband gets grumpy when I rent books from the library (As they never go back on time). So, new books being delivered and not having to pay to take them back late sounds too good to be true!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:13 amOh yes, scholastic rocks!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:14 amThis is a great contest. Count me in.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:14 amMe please! We love new books at our house, and what a treat to not have to take them back!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:15 amScholastic books rock!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:19 amI love Scholastic. And I miss being a teacher and getting to do book orders! So this would be awesome!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:19 amScholastic does indeed rock! We are in love with Scholastic books and a book club subscription will make my boys smile!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:20 amWe looove Scholastic around here!! Pick me!!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:20 amyes, I would have to say that Scholastic does rock, indubitably, even if I were not bribed with free stuff.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:21 amBooooooks!! Thanks Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:23 amMy daughter would love this- it would be hard to choose which one!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:24 amOhhhh, my girl loves books of all kinds - how cool would this be………the coolest of course!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:24 amScholastic is awesome!! and the three of us in our family are huge book fans and would love to get a new one every month!!!!!!!!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:27 amI wonder if this applies towards an aunt wanting to win this for a dear little nephew? Scholastic is the best! I remember their reading promotions from when I was eight, and I want to share that with my nephew Chris. He’s just learning to love reading, and what better present to give him?
November 26th, 2007 at 11:29 amI’ll throw my hat into the ring!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:29 amWe are huge Scholastic fans at our house, too! Thanks for the offer!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:29 ami would love a chance at that! thanks so much.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:30 amI lurve me some Scholastic and would love a chance at winning this!! Thanks Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:32 amScholastic is FANTASTIC! : - ) Thanks Mir…
November 26th, 2007 at 11:35 amPretty Mir, even prettier Chickadee and oh so handsome Monkey please pick my family for the wonderfulness that is Scholastic books for a whole year. We have four children (11, 9 and 6 year old boys and one lone 6 year old girl) that all love, love reading books and getting packages in the mail. Just last night I had to promise the youngest boy that I would read him two books right after school if he would just go to sleep right then and there.
I will even send pictures of all the happiness this would create.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:37 amI would love to win a subscript. to the pre-school book club! Awesome!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:44 amWe LOVE Scholastic books over here! What a great contest!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:45 amthank you scholastic! you guys are awesome!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:52 amI LOVE this! The Veggie Tales one looks wonderful! And of course, as far as my daughter is concerned there is no such thing as too many books!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:54 amThis would be so wonderful- especially since I had to miss the library’s Scholastic sale this weekend because of travel plans. Go, Scholastic!!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:55 amWe LOVE reading over here, but have not ordered from Scholastic before so this would be a great way to introduce my kids to some fantastic books.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:59 am:)
Oh, Scholastic rocks! My wonderful grandbeauties who looooove to read would looooove to win!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:01 pmGo, Scholastic! Love those book orders.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:05 pmLove Scholastic! They do great things for our local Family Network. Please count me in!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:07 pmWow…what an awesome prize!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:08 pmMy daughter would love the build-a-bear one.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:10 pmcomment, comment, bo-bomment, banana-fanana fo-fomment, fee fi fo mo-mment, CO-mment!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:13 pmGo, Scholastic! Great gifts!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:18 pmThis would be SO awesome for the kids in the family I sponsor (thru the Box Project) on the Reservation in South Dakota. Pick me. Please pick me (or should I say them?).
November 26th, 2007 at 12:20 pmThanks for all the great deals; I love your site.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:22 pmOh, pretty Mir! My eldest daughter is nearly the same age as yours, and we are having the same difficulty finding presents for her… please pick me!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:25 pmThis family of bookworms loves Scholastic! We order from both classrooms, every month. Some for boy kid, some for girl kid, some for mom, some for teachers… oh, the literary goodness! If we were to win this contest, the prizes would join many bretheren in a place of honor, and be loved for all time.
Carol
November 26th, 2007 at 12:30 pmOh, that is a great deal! We are big Scholastic customers here! My daughter keeps begging to join a club.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:32 pmI remember getting Scholastic shipments at school when I was a kid. My teacher would pass out everyone else’s books (one or two for most kids) and then leave the box for me and my giant pile of books.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:36 pmThis is huge!!! My son would drool over the possibility of Nick Jr. presents every month for a year! You rock, Scholastic!!!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:38 pmMy son has taken to naming his books and sleeping with them…. great for him but a little hard on the books. The three he had in bed with him last night were Zanzee, Zuni & Jack. (Zanzee is a girl in case you were wondering….)
Love you Mir…. pretty, pretty Mir.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:40 pmI was a teacher for 6 years and LOVE scholastic! Now I’m at home with my 10 month old twins and another one on the way!! I would love to join the book club - they have awesome products!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:45 pmMir, have I told you lately how pretty you are? And that woman at scholastic, too. You’re both gorgeous.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:47 pmYay for Veggie Tales! And those Scholastic folks are downright gorgeous.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:48 pmDear Pretty,Intelligent Mir,
November 26th, 2007 at 12:49 pmI hope I win.Thanks!
So pretty are the people at Scholastic and WantNot! My kids would LOVE this!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:51 pmI just received over $50 worth of Scholastic books ordered through my daughter’s preschool. They’re wonderful! The company is wonderful! I love them!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:52 pmOh, my. Scholastics is almost as pretty as you, Mir. Crossing my fingers and toes.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:52 pmWhat a great contest! My 5, 4 and 3 year olds would love this! We absolutely love Scholastic. Every time we get the order forms from school, I spend days agonizing over which books to choose. We want them all!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:55 pmMy kids LoVe Scholastic!! ME too!!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:03 pmThe most awesome part of Scholastic is heading down to the warehouse sale in Covington…straight down I-20, you Georgia transplant, you… and getting everything in the warehouse for half off! No kidding! Check the website! Of course, winning for free, even better!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:05 pmYay for books!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:08 pmI would love to win this… My nephew’s school library is in tough shape.
November 26th, 2007 at 1:09 pmThe chances get slimmer and slimmer as more people discover your fabulous site (and your stunning prettiness…). But a girl’s gotta dream, right? My son LOVES books and LOVES mail — I can’t think of anything better to win for him.
November 26th, 2007 at 1:12 pmWe LOVE Scholastic at our house! We are constantly ordering through my son’s school (he’s four years old and in junior kindergarten), and are avid book lovers in our house.
We’d be delighted to be chosen as the winners of this contest!
Keep up the great work, Scholastic, and Happy Holidays!!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:12 pmThis would be a HUGE hit at our house!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:13 pmMy (almost) two-year-olds would LOVE to get more books.
(Not like I’d be opposed, either. ^_^)
And, in case you haven’t heard it enough, you’re oh-so-so-so pretty. And brilliant. And savvy.
November 26th, 2007 at 1:18 pmOh wow. My inner book lover is salivating on the keyboard. My four year old appears to have inherited his mommy’s love of reading. Our ‘carrot’ to motivate and *ahem* encourage listening/rule-following is how many stories he gets at bedtime. Listen well and there will be four. Don’t listen and you get zero. (Oh the wailing when it’s a zero story bedtime…)
I too remember the excitement of getting Scholastic flyers as a student, and begging my Mom to let me get more books. I find myself excited when my son brings home the Scholastic flyer now. We have a great time picking out which books we will order.
Thank you Mir and lovely Scholastic lady. My heart beats with excitement at the thought of free Scholastic books every month!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:22 pmI would love to win this! Scholastic is wonderful and oh-so-many good deals can be found there!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:22 pmOh! Scholastic!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:30 pmI have a love hate relationship with them. Cheap books at school but it feels like every other week my son is asking for $20 worth of books!
Thanks Mir!
I love Scholastic and I would just love to give this as a Christmas gift.
Thanks!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:31 pmOOOoooo….I love scholastic book clubs. My two kiddos would get double the fun out of the great books!!
Pick me, pick me! (okay, shameless begging to end now…)
November 26th, 2007 at 1:33 pmI have fond memories of Scholastic books as a child and am enjoying passing the memories onto my children.
Thanks Mir and thanks Scholastic.
November 26th, 2007 at 1:40 pmOOOOooo…we lurve scholastic. While we probably don’t need anymore books in the house (the girls have hundreds!) I have trouble saying no when it comes to reading. The scholastic website has the BEST toddler games by far!!! It’s the one site I can leave the oldest one to play while I can get some things (go to the bathroom)done. (Nothing says happiness like peeing alone, trust me.) TMI? Ok, well pick me & I promise not to TMI you for at least a couple hours.
November 26th, 2007 at 1:41 pmOh how I adore Scholastic. They are my heroes. In fact, we have a book fair this week! Yay!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:48 pmWE LOVE (SCHOLASTIC) BOOKS!! please pick me!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:49 pmWow, that is an exceptionally good offer for a contest. You rock, Scholastic folks! You rock, Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:52 pmOh, I have ALWAYS loved Scholastic. Count me in!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:54 pmWhat an incredible contest - thanks Scholastic and Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:57 pmThere can NEVER NEVER be too many books in our house! And Scholastic rocks kid taste perfectly! Pick me, pick me!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:58 pmThe more, the merrier, and I am talking about books! My daughter and I are big Scholastic fans. So hope I can be the lucky one
November 26th, 2007 at 2:04 pmWithout you Scholastic, we’d be so blue (and probably illiterate)–
Oh Scholastic, we love you!
P.S. You, too, Mir!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:07 pmYay Scholastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We’d love this.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:08 pmWhat a great deal from Scholastic! Thanks for sharing it with us Mir.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:11 pmAs a homeschooling mom of 6 we are big Scholastic fans here. We may even share the joy with our homeschool co-op of over 50 families!
Thanks!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:13 pmWe just got back from volunteering at our local school at the Scholastic Book fair! A few very generous local businesses donated enough money for all of the kids at our school to get a free book. It’s a very low income school so this is huge. I’ve never seen such happiness in one day!
Don’t pick me, because I’ve already bought out Scholastic…and we are going back tomorrow again where I will no doubt buy more.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:13 pmWow! Throwing my hat into the ring for a very, very pretty offer! My pre-schooler brought home a Scholastic pamphlet a couple of weeks ago, throwing me back to the time of marking that I wanted every single book on the list, plus POSTERS! Ohhhh, the times when I got to get a kitten/puppy/wiggly little thing poster … !! Thanks Mir. Jessica
November 26th, 2007 at 2:20 pmI remember loving the Scholastic book orders at school with all the white-hot passion a nerdy elementary bookworm could muster. Now, I have two kiddos of my own — to whom I must pass the mantle of bookwormship.
Pick me! Pick me!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:21 pmOh, wow! Scholastic seriously rocks–I too loved loved LOVED their book orders way back in the day, and to be able to share this with my babes? Awesome.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:25 pmWe love Scholastic books, in fact I just placed an order this morning!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:39 pmPick me. Pretty please?
November 26th, 2007 at 2:40 pmI am a book fanatic and we often order through Scholastic! What wonderful people to offer such a great prize!!! I hope I win…and so do my kids!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:42 pmWow- lotsa comments…must be because those Scolastic people shore do ROCK!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:43 pmScholastic Rocks! I would love to win this. I have 3 girls that would go nuts if we won.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:43 pmWow, so many sign-ups so far! Thanks for the opportunity!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:44 pmMy daughter just started kindergarten. I thought I was going to cry when she brought home her first scholastic book order. It brought me back to my elementary school days. Thanks for the wonderful memories.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:47 pmWhat shall I say about Scholastic?
November 26th, 2007 at 2:54 pmHow about the word FANTASTIC!
We love Scholastic. Thanks for offering such a great giveaway!
November 26th, 2007 at 2:54 pmOh, my kids would LOVE that. Count me in!
