Every year I create a Halloween themed coloring competition for my children’s picture book, Rumble’s First Scare. I love handing out the coloring sheets to delighted children as they give Rumble a hug or pat on his head. This year the winner’s will have a choice of a unique T-shirt or hat along with a copy of the book.

WOTS Sept 2014

Rumble

The story centers around a young monster who is taken to his first scare on Halloween… http://www.dreamwritepublishing.ca/retail/books/rumbles-first-scare

I will either present the winner’s with their prize on 25th October at Words in the Park –   http://words.sclibrary.ab.ca    or mail them. It is always a pleasure receiving the entries and knowing the children will enjoy Rumble’s story, whether just for Halloween or anytime.
