Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!

In LaRue Across America, Ike’s plan for a peaceful cruise with Mrs. LaRue are thwarted when their neighbor, Mrs. Hibbins, falls suddenly ill. Mrs. LaRue suggests that she and Ike care for her cats while Mrs. Hibbins is in the hospital, inviting them along on the cruise. But cats aren’t allowed, and Mrs. LaRue decides to take them all on a week’s vacation of road-tripping. Ike is beside himself and quickly takes up his pen to tell us why!
Join award-winner Mark Teague on this romping road trip across America. Readers can follow along on the maps of the U.S. that span the endpapers. Teague drives us to the story’s satisfying conclusion, and we are left with one profound question: Can cats and dogs really be friends?
I love the colorful and engaging illustrations in this book! The story is a fun read, although probably best suited to an older child who will understand the humor and be able to sit through the entire story. It was a bit too lengthy to be a bedtime story for my 3 and 4-year-olds, but my 6, 8, and 9-year-olds thoroughly enjoyed it.
Two lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a LaRue Across America Prize Pack that includes:

Despite all my road trips cross country, I’ve never managed the SW corner of the nation. The Grand Canyon sounds like a good start.
Alecia
I’d like to visit Florida. I haven’t seen my family there in a while and the beaches are incredible.
Taking a cross-country road trip is definitely on my bucket list.

I would love to take my family to Key West for vacation. We live in Riverview, Fl. (just south of Tampa), but have never really seen our state. We’ve done Disney and Universal, and even visited Georgia, Tennesse, Kentucky, and Ohio, but never really Florida or Key west. I follow your site on FaceBook all of the time. Thanks for all the great tips, etc.
