Red Book, Blue Book, Old Book, New Book

by Kelly

Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss is perhaps one of the best loved children’s authors of all time. His style has been copied and imitated, but never quite duplicated, throughout the years. March 2 marks Dr. Seuss’ birthday. In honor of Dr. Seuss, I’m hosting a contest! Here is your chance to create your own Dr. Seuss style rhyme about anything so long as it’s not defamatory or offensive (see below).

The winning entry will be posted on my site and the author will receive a free Dr. Seuss book.

Here are the rules:

1. Your entry must be 100 words or less.
2. Entries must be posted in the comments below or sent via email to me by the deadline.
3. Plain text only, no attachments.
4. Include your name, location (city and state or country is sufficient) and email address with your submission. I won’t publish your email address, but I do need to be able to contact you.
5. You retain the rights to your rhyme, but if you enter the contest, you’re giving me permission to post any part or all of your rhyme, first name and location on my site.
6. Entry deadline is 11:59p.m. EST on March 2, 2007.
7. The winning entry will be determined by me, in my sole discretion.
8. Offensive entries (whether an entry is offensive will be determined by me and will include but isn’t limited to language which is sexually explicit or includes profanity or slurs) will be disqualified and deleted from the site.

Good luck! May the best rhyme win!

    A great contest, Jaime! Since my 16-year-old daughter was a toddler, she and I have been making up what we call Seuss-words! I’ll definitely be entering.

  2. Gayle Says:

    Kelly,

    Just realized I called you Jaime in my former post! Sorry. I have a hard time keeping names straight. Anyway, is there any leeway at all on the word count. My rhyme is 107 words long and, when I try to cut any, it doesn’t sound right!

About Tiny Treasury

It's impossible to get rid of a bad children's book once it has entered your house. In fact, if history teaches us anything, it's that it will become a favorite. Your child will cling to it, sleep with it and worst yet, require you to read it over and over again.

At tinytreasury.com, our mission is separate the good from the bad. If I can save one parent from having to read a rhyming book about dancing pigs, then I'll know I've done my job.
