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!

    I’ve never been on a road trip across the US but would love to – there are so many places I’d like to see – Washington DC, the grand canyon, Yellowstone park, New York, Mount Rushmore, – to many to name and how do you choose?

    I want to take a roadtrip. I keep telling my husband that he should take a few weeks off so we could do that but I’m not sure how easy it would be with two small children….

    I would love to take a trek up New England and end our trip in Maine. The closest we came to a cross country trek was moving from Alaska to Virginia. We ended our 5000 mile trip and didn’t see near enough of the country.

    I would most like to go to on a road trip to Oregon to see my best friend. Right now I make several road trips a year visiting family in TN. I’m currently living in MN so it’s just under 1000 miles one way. And I drive it by myself, straight through, with two little boys. LOL- Yes, I know I am crazy.

    i want to take my kids to the Childrens Muesum in Indianapolis. I think it would be so fun for all of us!

    I would love to visit the Grand Canyon. The first time I was there it snowed so I couldn’t see across the canyon! The second time we planned a vacation to go, the National Parks were all closed so we had to cancel our trip! I’ve never had the chance to go again yet!

  29. Jessie

    I would love to visit Thousand Oaks California, again. we love it there and the weather is better than MN.

  30. Aimee

    I would love to take my kids to see Glacier National Park, to Alaska and for a drive on the coastal highway of California.
