I am giving away a copy of my new book, "Splish Splash", published by Little Simon. I have only one request - that when you enter this contest you share the link, tweet, blog, facebook, or mention to a friend. What else do you need to enter? Just leave me a comment about who you will be giving the book to or reading the book with! That is all you have to do.
What do you get? This is a board book filled with interactive elements that create the sounds you might hear along a river bank. Chock full of fun animals - a great book for pre-schoolers and a great baby gift.

I'll be reading the book with my 3 1/2 year old and 1 year old if I win it - well that's as long as my 1 year old doesn't eat it....

We love all things Amy Schimler! Love your new little book. Now with my precious new baby granddaughter I will be getting your books!
This looks wonderful! I'm a postpartum doula and parent educator, so I would probably use the book as a give-away in one of the classes I teach to expectant parents. That is, if I could part with it...
This is so cute. I make lots of quilts for babies and sell them on my Etsy site. I would give the book away with one of my quilts, or, more likely, give it to my new granddaughter, who is 3 months old.
My 2 1/2 yr old grandson and I will so enjoy this together. My dau is amazed how many children's books I have stashed; LOVE them!

It looks adorable! I would read it with my kids ages 11,9, and 6. Even though you mention babies and preschoolers, I am betting that it would be my 11yo who would love it the most! He just loves all your fabric. I'm going to go Facebook the link right now....
I would read the book with my 5,3,and 1 year olds! Such a beautiful book and a fantastic way to anticipate summer fun by the creek!
I will be reading it to myself, and will buy a copt for my nephew who is a hoot, and loves books like his auntie.
What a beautiful book! I have a granddaughter who loves books! We read every day. I would love to win this for her.

A very sweet book - I travel to see Grandchildren, so the book would probably ride in my suitcase until I had a chance to share it with all the little ones. Then it might get to stay with the one who loves turtles.
Congrats!
The book looks wonderful!

Looks great. I will read it to anyone who will listen!

I would love to read this with my son. He never wants to sit still for a book, but since this one looks very interactive I think he just might sit still long enough to read the whole book.
Am sharing this on FB.
This looks fantastic! I'll be reading it with my 19month old little dude. He loves to sit amongst piles of books and whisper to himself, and I love to make sure they have beautiful artwork!

Lovely illustrations! My 16 month old daughter would love this. I can just hear her saying the names of all the animals, so cute!
I love this book ! My best friends here where I live in western Pennsylvania are Amish and I have been fortunate enough to be a part of their homeschooling routine. The youngest boy Thomas would be thrilled ! He loves animals and books are his window on the world. Not having been influenced by other fast moving forms of entertainment, Thomas craves being read to. Hard to say which one of us enjoys it more ! Thanks for such a sweet offer.....

This book is beautiful!! I would share this book with many Preschool teachers whom I come into contact with as an education consultant and will give it a shout out on my blog madebymolliesmom.blogspot.

This sounds such fun! I would gift it to my grandson but also maybe buy one for work for use with visually impaired children. Those who have less sight, esp pre schoolers benefit from conversation and the sounds would work fo0r them too.
I will mention this on my blog and at work which is large Service for VI and HI ( hearing impaired)children here in the Uk.
I love children's books for all ages. I would give it to my friend's 4 year old, Catherine. Of course I might love it too much and want to keep it..but I won't.
I learned of your book giveaway from Billie Bee's blog and as soon as I make my comment here I'll post it on my blog too.
I'd love to have this book to read to my granddaughter who is 13 months old now. She lives 4 hours away so I record books and give the book and the recording to her so she can have grandma read to her anytime.
Exciting! Congrats on your Highlight's Award too :)
What beautiful illustrations?! I think I may have to keep the book for myself,
How cute is this book! I have lots of grand kids I would love to share this book with. Thanks for the chance to win one.
