Yiddish for Babies giveaway!

Filed under books, four legs, friends and family

I never ever do giveaways here, but this is a very special occasion! My friend (and fellow book designer!) Janet Perr has a new book coming out, Yiddish for Babies, and TWO of my adorable nieces are featured in it. (Yiddishe kop and shnozz, if you’re curious.)

The book is SO CUTE and so funny, and I want to do a little giveaway to celebrate its upcoming release on November 10th. To sweeten the grand prize, I’m going to include a copy of one of Janet’s other books, Hip-Hop for Dogs (starring the fabulous BRUNO as the DJ!).

Here’s how it’s going to work:
Leave a comment on this post between now and midnight EST on Sunday, November 1st. On Monday morning, I will use the Random Number Generator to choose three numbers corresponding to the order in which the comments were received.

ETA: COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED. I will draw numbers and announce the winners on Monday morning!

Prizes:
1: Yiddish for Babies & Hip-Hop for Dogs
2 & 3: Yiddish for Babies

All books can be autographed and personalized, too!

    Dear Random Number Generator-
    Pick me. Pleaseandthankyou. My baby doesn’t have a great-grandmother to teach her Yiddish! And all her grandmother knows is “oy.” Sad but true.

    Ok, so I looked up some of the record covers your friend did and saw a Cyndi Lauper cover. So funny as I was rocking out in the car tonight to “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and thinking how the 80’s had to be the best time to grow up… Such cute books too! :)
