It’s no secret; I’m a big fan of the book Little Elliot, Big City. I reviewed it HERE
and also revealed some cover art from the upcoming book, Little Elliot, Big Family HERE. I love this little elephant and his
kind nature. I was beyond excited to find that Merry Maker’s released Little
Elliot stuffed animals. (HERE) I will absolutely be purchasing one for my
classroom and one for my niece. They are adorable.
All of this is to say, I got really excited when the folks
at Live In A Story (website HERE) contacted me. They
have wall decals that are taken right off the pages of our favorite picture
books. What??? They wondered if I’d like to preview what they have for Little
Elliot. Sign me up.
Just a few days later, Elliot arrived. I opened the package
with anticipation, unrolled it, and there he was. I immediately knew where I
wanted to put him in my classroom.
We start school in just over a week, so I’ve been in the
classroom quite a bit. There is a spot in our classroom meeting area that I
used to use for lunch count, but now was bare. It is on a white board, just to
the right of our Interactive whiteboard. I put Elliot there thinking we could
put speech bubbles or thought bubbles near him throughout the year.
There were also fun decals with cupcakes on them that I
haven’t gotten the chance to put up yet, I think I’ll place them randomly on
the board around Elliot.
The folks at Live in A
Story wanted me to offer up one free Little Elliot wall decal along
with a copy of Little Elliot, Big City to a reader of
the blog. Would you like Elliot in your classroom or even your home? Fill in
the Google Form below. The giveaway will be open from 8/7 through midnight on
