Beloved Books Mini-challenge
Welcome Read-a-Thon peeps! I hope you’re all having a fun day so far. This is my only participation this time around because I am knee-deep in birthday party preparations for my son who turns 4 tomorrow. When I do participate though I always love the mini-challenges and since I’m cleaning up lots of books today I thought I’d see how many of these picture books you could recognize. I only need the title. Every answer that you get correct you’ll get your name thrown into the hat, the more you know the more entries you receive to win $15 at the Book Depository. I’ll periodically hide your comments so you won’t be tempted to cheat 😉 And no google searches.
I’m also going to encourage you to go and choose some picture books (for kids or adults) from your own home and take a picture. Cover the titles best you can, leave a link so I and anyone else who wants to can visit and guess. If you do this your name will be thrown into a separate hat for $10 at the Book Depository. And why not take a few minutes and read a few?
You can play both ways and be entered to win both. Open internationally.
I’ll be drawing for a winner during hour 15. Good luck 🙂

Just know two:
Green Eggs & Ham
Where the Wild Things Are
What a fun challenge! I see Green Eggs and Ham and Where the Wild Things Are. There are a couple other covers I recognize, but I can’t remember the title. I’ll have to do some investigating! 🙂
I only recognize a few! I see Llama llama Red Pajama, Green Eggs and Ham, Olivia, Where the Wild Things Are, and Harold and the Purple Crayon. 🙂
My guesses are:
Green Eggs and Ham
Where the Wild Things Are
Harold and the Purple Crayon
Guess How Much I Love You
Olivia
Happy Birthday to your son!
Green Eggs and Ham
Where the Wildthings Are
Harold and the purple Crayon
The Very Hungry Spider??
Most I actually don’t recognize.
lama lama red pajama, green eggs and ham, olivia, where the wild things are, guess how much i love you, harold and the purple crayon, harry the dirty dog
Green Eggs and Ham Where The Wilds Ones Are Three Little Pigs
Llama llama Red Pajama, Olivia, Green Eggs and Ham, and my favorite, Where the Wild Things Are! 🙂
My youngest is 13, so I’m at a big of a disadvantage here, but:
Where the Wild Things are, by Sendak
Harold and the Purple Crayon by ??Johnson??
The Busy Spider (??) by Eric Carle
Olivia (dunno which one) by Ian Tremaine (??)
Green Eggs and Ham by Dr Seuss
I Love You This Much by ???
Three Little Pigs (??) by Wiesner (the Tuesday author)
Harry the Dirty Dog by Z… (I remember shelving it at the end — what, doesn’t everyone alphabetize their kids’ books?)
I recognize the art in the last one, but can’t remember the author’s name or which book that is. I didn’t look anything up — this is all out of my head or I promise I’d do better!
Guess how much I love you
Llama Llama red pajama
Where the wild things are
Llama Llama Red Pajama, Where the Wild Things Are, Green Eggs and Ham, Olivia, Guess How Much I Love You
Guess how much I love you, where the wild things are, the very busy spider, green eggs and ham – these are the only ones I know.
Green eggs and ham
I’d love to participate but all of my kids books are in boxes on top of my wardrobe. Plus, I only have spanish ones from my childhood.
Still, have fun!
Guess How Much I Love You, Where the Wild Things Are, Green Eggs and Ham, Llama Llama Red Pyjama, The Very Busy Spider… I think that’s as many as I can name, haha. Not too bad considering I’m 27 and don’t have children, little cousins or any other small individuals around to give me an excuse. I JUST LOVE PICTURE BOOKS OKAY! 😀
You can find me at http://musingsofabookshopgirl.blogspot.co.uk, or my Twitter handle is @BlondeBookGirl, just in case I get lucky. Such a fun challenge idea, thanks!
What a cute idea! I spy with my little eye…
I love you this much

That is a fun challenge – I recognize a couple – Where The Wild Things Are, I am guessing when I say Three Little pigs, uh…. I think that is all I know 😉
I’m not doing the read-a-thon this time around, but love the challenge and that you used leaves to hide the titles…very fall-ish!

– Where the Wild Things Are
– Harry the Dirty Dog

Guess How much I love you, Llama Llama Red Pajama, Harold and the Purple Crayon, the Three Pigs, Where the Wild Things are, Harry The Dirty Dog, Olivia, Green Eggs and Ham, something by Eric Carle and A book I don’t know – Only had to scroll up and down 5 times, lol
Shoot. I did this the first time and totally didn’t see picture books as the requirement but here’s the first guessing title challenge I did:

Here’s the one with the picture books (graphic novels in this case):

I see Harry the Dirty Dog, Where the Wild Thing’s Are, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Green Eggs and Ham (my fave!), The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and I think that’s an Eloise book there.
The rabbits look like Velveteen Rabbit, but there’s two rabbits, so not it. (sorry thinking out loud now)
