Contest: The Making of “Chimpanzee” Book

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 8:00 am

I am thrilled to have five copies to give away of a magnificent new book about the making of the extraordinary film, “Chimpanzee,” from DisneyNature.  This book is something very special, with spectacular photos and an astonishing behind-the-scenes story.  It will be a treasure for those who are lucky enough to win.  And I am setting aside one book for a teacher because this should be shared with a classroom of students.

To enter: send an email to moviemom@moviemom.com with “Chimpanzee” in the subject line and tell me your favorite movie about a primate.  If you are a teacher, also tell me what grade you teach.  Do not forget your address so I know where to send the prize.  I promise I never use it for any other purpose.  I will pick five winners at random on May 4, so get your entries in by midnight (Eastern time) on May 3.  US addresses only — apologies to my non-US readers.  And thanks to DisneyNature for providing the books and for extending the contributions to Jane Goodall’s Institute for each ticket sold, so that every ticket-buyer is helping to protect these beautiful creatures.

Contest: Nicholas Sparks’ The Lucky One

Posted on April 17, 2012 at 3:47 pm

In honor of this week’s release of “The Lucky One,” I am giving away a copy of the Nicholas Sparks novel it is based on.  Zac Efron stars as a U.S. Marine who finds a photograph of a beautiful woman.  It becomes a talisman for him and he feels that it keeps him safe.  When he comes back to the United States, he goes in search of her and when he meets her he is too emotional to tell her why he is there.  If you’d like to read the book — which conveniently comes with its own little package of tissues — send me an email at moviemom@moviemom.com with “Lucky One” in the subject line and tell me your favorite Nicholas Sparks movie.  Don’t forget your address.  (U.S. addresses only)  I’ll pick a winner at random on April 21.  Good luck!
