April Fools Giveaway #1 - CLOSED!

What's April Fool's Day without a little humor, right? (I still remember, vividly, being duped by my best fried in first grade who convinced me that a dog had wandered into the school room that very morning and bit my first grade teacher. Gullible.)

Speaking of dogs and humor, if you haven't met Hank the Cowdog you have no idea what you are missing out on. (But I am here to save the day! With all due respect to Hank, Head of Ranch Security, of course.) Hank is a lovable ranch dog who thinks much of himself and gets into all kinds of death defying shenanigans. Clean reading. Very funny. My sister-in-law graced us with a post about Hank the Cowdog sometime back (click on the link to read her thoughts and see how she threw a Hank the Cowdog birthday party for my nephew!) and I'm here to offer you your very own (gently used) copy of The Original Adventures of Hank the Cowdog. This is book one in the series and is merely meant to get you going on your journey with Hank, Drover, Pete, Slim, Roper and Sally May.

To win? Simply leave a comment below! This contest is open to U.S. and Canadian residents and will be open through Thursday, April 7th.

Extra entries:

* Blog about today's April Fool's Giveaways and earn one extra entry per contest. (Make sure to leave a second comment for that extra entry!)
* Become a "fan" on Facebook. (Because yes, I've stooped to Facebook!)

Good luck and may the best dog person win.




Stay tuned throughout the day! More contests on the way...

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THE WINNER IS #42 - Nancye

Oooh, I would LOVE to win this for N1. She just devoured her first Hank the Cow Dog book (and it wasn't book 1 because that was checked out at the library). Fun!

I would love to win a copy of Hank the Cowdog! Several years ago my family and I listened to some of these stories on CD; they are fun.

FUN!
Oh, and later I will tell you about our little April Fool's joke that Derek thought of for my dad. You might be able to guess it. (think TWO)

Yep, a good laugh would be perfect for April Fool's Day.

We brought home Hank after your review months ago (last year?). Will enjoys him. Then I found several Hank books at our library's used book sale last week. At $.20 each they came home with us!!
