The other day I was reading The Bearded Iris and found the coolest giveaway.  It was a children's book that reminded me of Where's Waldo

Except, way better. 

Your child is in the book!  After reading her review, I was able to get in touch with the wonderful creators of the book, Tom and Sue from Ohio, and they were nice enough to send me a personalized copy for a review and offer more for a giveaway! 

The book is called Find Me If You Can! and features your child's face on every page, all 30 pages, mixed with a bunch of other kids faces.  It is a very high quality 8 1/2" x 11" hardback book with a hard spine and is spiral bound on the inside.  Each glossy page is full of different patterns and pictures and a fun rhyme to encourage kids to find themselves. 



If you don't want your child's picture included in other books, you don't have too.  In fact, if you do want to have your child's picture in other books, you have to give permission by checking a release box. 

Check out their website at Bammco.net.

When I saw this, I thought "Middle Child has got to have this!"  So, I emailed a picture of him to Tom and Sue and in about a week and a half, it arrived!  I saved it to take to the Third Grader's guitar practice because that's always a fun trip with two little ones.  When we got there I showed Middle Child his surprise.  He was thrilled.  Both he and Baby Girl laid on the floor for 45 minutes finding his little face.  In fact, they spotted a few other fun faces and I could hear "Oooh Oooh!  I found the girl with the big pink glasses!" several times. 

Check out how much he loves this book.



And, there he is!!


Because the boys are big LEGO fans, we especially love this page.


I zoomed, but the clarity isn't so hot...please note that the book is super clear and is great quality.  But, this will give you an idea of the page.





This is such a unique book and is a wonderful gift. Don't know what to get the grand kids, nieces, nephews, etc, for Christmas? Well, here is the solution!

You can purchase this book for $29.99, plus shipping...and lucky you, Tom and Sue are giving readers of I'm Living the Good Life a 10% discount!  Enter code GOODDeal when you order to receive this special rate.  This discount is only good for the next seven days!

  4. I think Andrew would get a kick out of this - he would probably say that his popularity would grow by leaps & bounds if he were the "star" of a book. -- Candee N
