And The Winner Is… (plus February’s Prize)
In January, I posted about a year-long giveaway that I’m offering here on Frog on a Blog–a new prize each month for folks who comment on blog posts. With so much negative energy floating around in the world, especially in recent months, I decided I wanted to do something positive, something to show my gratitude to my followers, fans, and friends for their support.
The first prize offered, for the month of January, was a signed copy of my picture book The Peddler’s Bed.

[image error]
It is always interesting to discover which picture books have been checked out most frequently from the DeWitt Community Library. Not surprisingly, this year’s list is a mix of new and old favorites, and titles featuring characters from popular TV series and movies.
Peppa Pig dominated the list this year, appearing three times below, and if I had continued past 19, we would have seen Peppa many more times.
Disney titles were popular, as were a couple of Anna Dewdney’s LLama LLama books.

The Peddler is jumping for joy because it’s a brand new year, full of possibilities. It’s also a year full of giveaways! I’ll be giving away a prize each month to folks who comment on a post–any post–during the course of the month. Winners will be chosen at random and announced on the blog. Subscribing to Frog on a Blog is recommended (though not required) to keep track of posts and to see if you’ve won.
Those who share a post, will get an extra chance...
