WIN copies of ‘Ori the Octopus’ Picture Book

April 9 2017 By melbournemamma 17 Comments

Ori the Octopus is a delightful new children’s picture book, for 2–5 year olds, by Australian author Anne Helen Donnelly.

 

 

To celebrate the release of this fabulous new book, I’m running a great competition, with loads of prizes to be won!

 

Ori the Octopus tells a great story of friendship and helping others. With big, bright, colourful illustrations, simple language and fun actions so children can participate in the story, it will quickly become a favourite.

 

 

Ori is a lovable character who likes to help his friends. In this new book he helps them all at once – but when he takes on too much, his friends step in to help him.

 

The book also includes character cut-outs, so kids can play with their favourite characters and have hours of fun and entertainment.

 

 

The author’s website contains kid friendly videos, and lots of free activities for the kids, including colouring in, join the dots, spot the difference and much more!

 

One lucky reader will WIN a copy of Ori the Octopus by Anne Helen Donnelly PLUS two limited edition canvases featuring the book’s characters and a craft pack (valued at more than $100). Six readers will also win a copy of the book and a craft pack.

 

Ori the Octopus is available in book stores from April 2017.  Also available from Woodslane. RRP $17.99. ISBN 9780646962207.

How cool is my son’s latest @lego project - Dom’s Charger from Fast and Furious 🖤👦🏻⁣
⁣
Based on the iconic 1970s Dodge Charger R/T, it’s packed with authentic details. The opening hood reveals a model version of the iconic V8 engine. Other cool features include moving pistons, wishbone suspension, steering system and air blower. There are even nitro bottles in the trunk to bring Dom's daring high-speed chases to life. Just like the real thing!⁣

“1959: Grace is a young mother with four children under four. All she ever wanted was to have a family of her own, but there are thoughts Grace cannot share with anyone in the months after childbirth. Instead she pours her deepest fears into the pages of a notebook, hiding them where she knows husband Patrick will never look. When Grace falls pregnant again, she turns to her sister, Maryanne, for help.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1996: When Beth's father, Patrick, is diagnosed with dementia, she and her siblings make the heart-wrenching decision to put him into care. As Beth is clearing the family home, she discovers a series of notes.
