Win-It Wednesday: LaRue Across America Prize Pack (2 Winners!)

by

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

larue across america

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:

  • a copy of LaRue Across America
  • a LaRue Across America backpack
  • a $100 gas gift card to go on your own adventure

To enter, tell me where in America you’d like to visit!

    We are getting ready for a trip to Florida from Maryland. 1 van + 2 parents + 3 children under 6 = Bonding fun! :)

    I would love to visit Texas! My aunt lives there and just had a second baby! I want to meet her!

    I would love to go to Hawaii to see my niece that I haven’t seen since she was 3 years old. She’s now 29 years old and a mother herself. My brother, her Dad, was killed in a car accident when she was 7. She was living with her mom’s sister at the time, and my brother was in the process of suing for custody when he was killed. After years apart, we connected via the telephone and her family getting me in touch with her. We now stay in contact via Facebook. So would really love to see her again. :-)

    I grew up in the Northeast and would love to drive up the east coast with my husband and then down the west coast. I’ve never done a road trip across country but I have driven from PA to OK and back! ha!

  13. Holli

    I would love to take our kids out to the Grand Canyon! We have never driven further than Ohio to N. Carolina!

  25. Holly Walsh

    I have done a road trip from Wisconsin to San Diego, and I’d love to do another trip to visit my sister in Wyoming in the next year. So many more states to visit! :)

    I would LOVE to go on a road trip! I don’t care where. I have never seen the Grand Canyon (lived in AZ since 1972!). Local or long distance trip, I don’t care. I love to see new places, love to stop at all the quirky museums and such along the way. If I won this, I would be in charge of where and when we stop!
