Preacher’s Creatures Children’s Book Giveaway

March 14, 2009 By 11 Comments

I have another children’s book to giveaway. Preacher’s Creature strikes on Sunday. How do your kids feel about going to church every Sunday? Do they love it? Do they hate it, do they have any idea what’s really going on?

With hilarious stories and nutty pictures, the Tales from the Back Pew series offers kid’s a unique view of church. Enjoy plenty of giggles with your child—and learn fun, important truths about God, church, and the Bible. Mom is taking me to church this Sunday. I’ve heard a lot about church. You have to stand up, sit down, and kneel a hundred times. It’s called being in the service—I’m too young to be drafted!

Preacher’s Creature strikes on Sunday is all about church through the eyes of a child. These are crazy monster drawings and it’s cute. I think it would be better for children older than my two year old, it would be great as a first reader book. There is a lot for children to look at in the pictures though. ;-)

About the Author:

Mike Thaler believes that story writing and riddles are the most useful tools in stimulating children’s awareness of language and its creative use. An award-winning author and illustrator, Mike travels the world sharing his message with teachers and children.

Mike has written over 140 books for children of all ages. He has also created word play games, software, and audiocassettes. He created and wrote “Letterman” for TV’s Electric Co. In addition, he launched the Jell-O Reading Rocket Program to motivate children to read.

Mike was born in Los Angeles in 1936. After moving to New York City, he started his professional career drawing cartoons for adults. A children’s book editor saw one of these cartoons and encouraged Mike to write children’s books. The attempt was successful and Magic Boy was published in 1962. 140 books later, Mike has been called “one of the most creative people in children’s books today.” Thaler now lives in Canby, Oregon, surrounded by his family, friends, and yellow, his favorite color.

Would you like to win one?

Visit Mike Thaler’s page on Scholastic and tell me about another book that he has written.

    Great book, I love a good children’s book that teaches you something. Like in a book that I’ve just read called The Moose With Loose Poops.
    The author, Charlotte Cowan has written numerous books such as this one that teaches your child about something different that most books or parents would teach.
    I love sharing new books people have found.

    I bet my son would love The Bully Brothers at the Beach, which he wrote in 1996!
