Snuggle Time with Bear Hugs and Little Monkeys GIVEAWAY

There is nothing better than snuggling under the sheets with a good book and a sweet child. My children absolutely love story time and my toddler quickly learned how comforting and fun it can be, all at the same time.
In April, we let all of you know about the release of the New Sandra Magsamen book Welcome, Little One. Well, today we want to let you know about two new books in her line of Messages of the Heart.
My Little Monkey & Little Bear Hugs are the newest additions to Sandra Magsamen's award winning Snuggle-Me Stories series.
Featuring a small fleece blanket with an attached plush monkey and teddy bear, babies and loved ones will love to read and play along with the sweet rhyming story, which delivers heartfelt sentiments of love. With playful words and illustrations, these titles are sure to become a favorite for cozy shared lap time reading.
My family was lucky enough to receive these two titles and without me even opening the package, I knew my toddler would be thrilled. He walks and travels with Sandra's Welcome Little One Book and that, in itself, is a challenge because of the size and weight of it. He tucks it in between his arms as if it was a football!
My Little Monkey and Little Bear Hugs are absolutely adorable and come with a small soft token your little one can carry around. If he's anything like my toddler it'll come in handy during travel time. What I really liked about these particular books are the size. They are small enough for little hands to read in the car seat or carry around in their tiny backpacks.
Along with the size, I also dig the price! Retailing for $8.99 you can't go wrong with these hardback books. They come with a matching plush toys and they are built to last trips and even the wear & tear a toddler can bring!

story time is after bath time, and we cuddle up on the couch to read each night.

We just love story time in our home. My son always takes one of his stuffed animals and cuddles with me and we read in bed.

I am a librarian, and every week I bring home new books to read with my son. I only work a few nights a week, and when I get home he always wants to know what books I have brought him!
My kids are grown, but I love to read to my grandchildren while cuddling on the coach in our family room when they visit.
Every night we read before bed. Each child gets to pick a book and so they get to listen to a couple books each night.
we cuddle up on the couch and my daughter picks the book she wants to here that night.
My husband has just started reading to my son, who is due in December. He just reads whatever he can find at the time, because we dont have a book collection yet! Thanks

Special story time is at bedtime and he gets to pick out the book we read.

Every night when I say, 'It's time for bed, you want to get a book?' to our toddler, he'll take my hand, we'll walk into the library, and he'll grab as many books as his little hands can carry to take back to his room. We both love this part of the night, and he's a little guy, so rarely do more than two or three books make it back. He'll sit and snuggle with me, or climb into his bed, and we'll read together. It's awesome.

We make story time special by taking turns reading to our daughter (me then her dad each night). Lol we tried reading her a story all together thinking it would be cute, but for some reason she didn’t like it. We read a story while cuddled up in the bed at night.

the tv is turned off and we sit together and read and sometime act out a page in the story
We have a special book we named the "Nap Time Book" and it can only be read if you are laying down and ready for your nap.

I do have my own favourite books - but I let my snoogs choose now. We snuggle up on a chair or on a bed...doesn't really matter where - what makes it special is the interaction - and sharing my love of reading.
We climb in bed and read to them.

We give our son a bath, dress him for bed, and pick out a book to read together.

We have a special reading time each night. I get to choose one book and my son chooses one. I always choose a different book that we haven't read in a while or ever and my son always chooses either the best nest, are you my mother or where the wild things are. We read the books in his room in his bed and then tuck him in for the night.
I keep my 4 year old grandson every day. We have lately started reading a book every afternoon and afterward he draws and colors a picture relating to the book. He loves our book time. Thanks for the giveaway.

We snuggle down in bed and just have the nightstand light on. It makes a great relaxing atmosphere. Thanks!

I read to my daughter just before bed and she loooves it. :-) I started when she was a newborn (well, about the time she could focus, lol). Her favorite books are books with mirrors, and one of her favorites was by this author!
Thanks for the great giveaway, I would be so thrilled to win! :-)
