Book Giveaway: Dolphins and Oceans, Oh my!

Sponsored by Silver Dolphin, I'm happy to host a giveaway this week as part of the Book Giveaway Carnival (March 2-8). Giveaway is restricted to the U.S. only.

One winner will receive two books. Which two books...

Uncover A Dolphin: The Inside Story On the Ocean's Smartest Animal by David George Gordon. From the publisher: "Did you know that dolphins drink milk? Or that some scientists believe dolphin’s ancestors once walked on land? Today, there are 37 different kinds of dolphins, from the familiar bottlenose to some rare river-dwellers. Uncover the secrets of dynamic dolphins, layer by layer in this unique book. Kids can plunge into weird and wild facts, cool illustrations, diagrams and an amazing 3-D layered model of a bottlenose dolphin."

You really have to see this book to believe how cool it is.

A Kaleidopops Book: Oceans


From the publisher: "Wow, talk about making a splash! Oceans takes kids deep beneath the waves where they can explore ocean life in all of its glorious color. From giant squids that can glow in the dark to the rainbow of colors cast by tropical reefs, readers will learn how color plays an important role for hunting, attracting mates and hiding from predators. Lenticular pop-ups literally leap off the pages and shimmer in the light, bringing the ocean to life in a truly spectacular fashion. These pop-up surprises are enhanced by fascinating facts that are sure to make every reader want to become a marine biologist."

How to enter:

1) For one entry, just leave a comment on the post which includes your name and email address. (If and only if your email is linked on your profile page may you leave that bit off. But if I can't find an email address on your comment, profile, or blog then I won't be able to contact you if you should win.)

2) For an extra entry, leave ANOTHER comment. This time I want you to visit the Silver Dolphin website...explore what kinds of books they publish and leave a comment telling me about a book that interests you.

The contest is open today (March 2, 2009) through Sunday, March 8th at noon. I'll be drawing a winner that afternoon.
