My friend over at Urbanbaby & Toddler, http://www.urbanbaby.ca/ , just posted a really cool contest and I felt I just had to mention it too. It’s too cool not to get excited about. Thanks Emma!

You could win a visit from Robert Munsch, the best-selling children’s author and honourary chair of Family Literacy.

Today, the ABC Canada Literacy Foundation announced the 4th annual Munsch at Home contest for a chance to win a visit from Robert Munsch.

Families from all across Canada are being invited to write a short description about what your are doing to celebrate Family Literacy Day (FLD). Submit your event ideas and compete to have Robert Munsch attend your FLD celebration.

You have until 5 pm EST, December 12, 2008. ABC CANADA will accept contest entries from families anywhere in Canada who are planning FLD parties. To enter, families must mail their applications to ABC Canada Literacy Foundation. Download your application from the Family Literacy pages of the ABC Canada website at www.FamilyLiteracyDay.ca.

Get writing and get creative. I am already thinking about what we might do. I’m not sure who is more excited about a private visit by Robert Munsch…me or the kids??
