I admit, it was difficult. So it ended up being a draw-out-of-the-hat thing.

Wow! The kids did great. Congratulations Anna. I hope you enjoy the book.
The last picture, by Renn age 5, if no help was given and Renn did this alone, it is amazing for a five-year-old. Look at the mouth It has teeth and a split tongue and the eyes are good. The cave boy even has a neck. Renn may grow up to be one heck of an illustrator. I’m impressed.
One of us replying could win a three book prize? I’m in. Can I get extra entries if I write more comments? I could write one for each picture. How about it, I really would like those books. 🙂

What great pictures, Tara–thank you for sharing them! I can see why you had difficulty selecting a winner! I really want that chinchilla for a pet 🙂
And thank you for all of these great opportunities for winning picture books! I would love to win a three PB prize pack. I’ve heard great things & can’t wait to read “Boy & Bot” & Arnie. “Extra Yarn” is a sweet story. Wonderful, warm illustrations tinged with humor by Jon Klassen–makes me want to learn to knit!
