THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

We are big on Cheerios in this house. When the kids were very small we always had plain Cheerios on hand. Now, you can always find a box of Honey Nut Cheerios in our pantry. We recently tried the Frosted Cheerios and, I've got to say, they are yummy!



We all know that Cheerios is always striving to bring nutritious cereals to our breakfast tables but, did you know what wonderful things they are doing to get books into the hands of children everywhere? For the past 8 years, Cheerios has given away more than 40 million books in boxes and donated more than $3.2 million to First Book to help provide new books to kids who don’t have books of their own.

Jon Scieszka is the author of some of the best known and funniest books written for children including The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, The Time Warp Trio series and the Caldecott Honor Book The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Fairy Tales not to mention the first book in the Trucktown series, Smash! Crash!


Cheerios has teamed up with Jon Scieszka to deliver 100,000 books to community-based programs serving children in need - and we´d love your help! All you have to do is go online with your child and test your combined knowledge of children´s books by answering trivia questions related to "Trucktown" and other great children´s books.

For every trivia question answered correctly, you can cast one vote for the state you would like to receive books. The five states receiving the most votes will get 20,000 books each, for a total of 100,000 books. Visit www.FirstBook.org/Scieszka to test your knowledge and start voting. How wonderful would it be for your state to get these books?!

Want some books just for your kiddos?
One lucky reader will win a prize pack with an assortment of books from Cheerios, one of many varieties of Cheerios cereals and a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble (so you can get some other great books from a great bookstore!) all from Blog Spark.
