My children. Thank you, Deb, for hosting this! notwiddletwaddle@gmail.com
I would share these books with my daughter, Lillie. We read Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse and other Kevin Henkes books a lot.
I will share the book with my classroom. Thank you for the great ideas.
I will share this book with my PreK class during the first week of school! I’m sure it will become a favorite that they will request over and over!
Thanks!
This book is wonderful to share with all my K-2 reading groups. Would love
to have a copy of my own.
Awesome find!.. My teachers and I were just talking about this book. We only have one book to share between the 4 of us. It’s in the lesson plans so we just roll with it. Thank you.
Kevin Henkes is actually both new to me and to my class this year so it was a coincidence that you were offering one of his books! Every month we focus on a different author and he is on tap for October. Always so excited to expose my students to new authors and now I get to learn about someone new too! Thanks!
I Love Chrysanthemum, it has been one of my favorite books since childhood and I love to share it with the children I care for. : )
We love Kevin Henkes around here and would love adding these to our collection!
My kindergarten students have amazing and unique names this year – No Sam in the bunch! I think this story will really resonate with those students who feel a little uncomfortable with their names because of their complexity in spelling and in saying them. We are currently doing a lot of work with names so that the kids learn to recognize their own names as well as those of their classmates. Chrysanthemum will fit right into this plan!
I would share this with my son, and maybe his Kindergarten class. Thanks for all your great posts!
What a fun giveaway! I’ll share this book with my two sons, ages 4 and 1.
I would share it with my 2 daughters and in our Learn and Play group.
I would share Chrysanthemum with my four year old preschoolers during the first week of school.
Thank you for sharing this opportunity. I have some unusual names in my class this year and “Chrysanthemum” is on my lesson plan for the first week of school.
I would love to share this book with my remedial reading students to start the school year off! It would make for a great lesson especially since I have different groups of children coming to me every period!
as soon as I saw your post, I thought what a wonderful way to start the year with the four year olds that I teach! thank you for this opportunity to get this book free.
Good morning! I would share this book with my preschool class. I run a small preschool, serving up to 22 children in one mixed age classroom of three to five year olds.
I will be sharing this book with my daughter, Ellie. I anticipate that with a name like Ellie she will be called smelly Ellie at some point in her schooling career. This book would be a great lesson for her.
I would share this book with my son while I am homeschooling him, as well as my daycare children I teach and watch. This is a great giveaway that I would love to share with all the children in my life.
Thanks!
I would love to share this book with my preschool class and explore activities drawn from the book!
My little man who just turned 3 is who I would be reading this to. We don’t have this book and it would be his very first book of his own as all of his others are hand-me-down brother and sister books.
I will read this book to my new preschool class.
We love books in our home. I would share this book with my son, Jibril – Arabic for Gabriel – who also has a pretty unique name. He is three and is very much into the names of things right now.
Love the ideas!
I would share this book with my prek class and my children at home!
Good morning!
I am a reading partner for the Palm Beach Literacy Coalition, and I read weekly with children. In addition, I present early childhood workshops, and literacy is my “baby.”
I am surprised to admit that I have never read the book “Chrysanthemum,” although from everything on your blog, I definitely will look into it. Not only does it sound like a great book to share with my young students, but it sounds like a perfect addition to my reading and bookmaking workshops. My mind is already spinning with a lot of possible activities.
I am excited at the possibility of winning the book to add to my library, but more importantly, I’m anxious to share it with children and those working with children… what a fun opportunity.
Hope to hear from you on Friday, Lois
I would read this book to my preschool students.
I would LOVE to win a copy of “Chrysanthemum”by Kevin Henkes! I am a first year teacher, working in a substantially seperate school for children with various special needs. For the past four years, I have worked with older students (ages 10 to 16), so, while preparing to work with my Pre-K – grade 1 students, I am feeling a little like a fish out of water. I have been scrambling to find materials and books that are appropriate for my new class. “Chrysanthemum” fits the bill, perfectly! Your blog has been an enormous help to me in terms of ideas and inspirations. Thanks so much for all of the great information!!
I have two children, ages 3 1/2 and almost 2, who would love this book.
I would love to win and share it with the children that I care for at my in-home daycare.
My students would love this!
I will share this book with my Kindergarten class. I love Kevin Henke’s books!!
First, I would share this with my children. Then, I’d share it with my preschool kids. I am lucky enough at this moment to have children around the same age as my preschool kids, so I do everything at home first. My kids love the attention and being involved with my work
I will share this book with my wonderful pre-kindergarten class. Several of the children in my class have very unique names this year.
Thanks, Tracy
I plan to share this book with my preschoolers.
I just started teaching preschool this year and would LOVE this for my classroom!!!
After seeing your post about Chrysanthemum, I decided this would be a great book to read to my Pre-K class the first week of school. We are going to follow up by decorating our names and adding handprints, then will hang them up in time for Back to School Night.

I just started a new job. I will be able to watch my children and two others. I think this would be a great book to shae with everyone.
I would love to use this book with my son and our play group.
I really love your website!! I am a child care provider on a military installation and I get a lot of ideas that you post!! Thank you so much
I love this book, and I do not have a copy of it! I always have to borrow it when I use it. I even used it in a class of Jr. High and High School girls at church!
I would really enjoy sharing this with my two little daughters and niece! Thanks for the giveaway!
My students! Thanks! Lisa Hause
I will share this book with my 4 year old Kindergarten classroom.
That sounds like such a fantastic book. My own little ones aren’t so little anymore so if it’s my lucky day I will share it will with my preschool class.
I will share this wonderful book with my daughter who is an elementary school teacher.
I would love this for my kid! Thank you!
Hi,
I can’t wait to use this book with my preschoolers during the first week of school. I do a similar activity when teaching them their names. I also sing a chant where the children have to find their name in a group of names.
I would share this book with my daughter, 3, and one day her little sister (who will be born at the end of the year!)
Hello, My name is Angela Vogler. I will be sharing this with my childcare friends while teaching them how special our names are.
Thank You
Hello! I will share these books with my new preschool class opening this fall and my daughter!
I would share this with mt daycare kids.
Hello! I will share this book with my NEW preschool class opening this fall. Of course, my daughter too.
I would read this book to my almost 4 year old daughter.
Thank you for the giveaway.
I would love to share this book with my preschool class! Great book to use when introducing name writing
I would share this book with my grandchildren. Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse is my 5 yr old granddaughter’s favorite!
I would also share it with my preschool classes. Every year in September we talk about our names and how we got them. Chrysanthemum is a great lead in to the activity.
As you can see the book would get years of use!
Thanks
I have a preschooler, toddler and baby in my house right now. All 3 love books and quiet time with mommy, so the book would be shared by all. (I would also do the name lesson with my preschooler too.)
“Chrysanthemum” is a book I have enjoyed sharing with my pre-school friends. I would love to have a copy of my own to share with my class and I am expecting a little girl of my own on September 10th and would love to add it to my book collection for her.
Our preschool would love this book.
Love these books!! I teach preschool and these books are great!!!! Would love to have these in our preschool library!!
I will share this book with my new class of preschoolers!
I just discovered your blog and as a homeschooler of every other grade, I am very grateful for your ideas for preschoolers! We just installed our oil pan/magnet board and it keeps our 2 and 4 year olds very entertained when I have to sit with the older kids! I now receive your blog via email and get very excited when I see you posted something new! Thank you!
I will share this book with my preschoolers and my future children! Thanks for this opportunity!
My daughter would love this book! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I would share these books with my preschool class and children! My daughter loves these books!
I will share the book with my 4 (soon to be 5) great-nephews whose mother is teaching them that kindness to all is most important. I had just recommended this book to her over the weekend!
I would share this book with my grandson, and my headstart class.

I will share it with my grandchildren and perhaps my sixth graders.
I would love to share this book with my three preschool daughters!
I would share this book with my classroom full of 18 preschoolers
I would love to share this book with my 2 young daughters. As a home-schooling mom, I look forward to trying some of your wonderful ideas!
I love this book! I have it reserved at the library so I can pick it up for the first couple of weeks of school. I would LOVE to own it! Thanks!!
I will share this with my pre-k class of four year olds. I love this book!
Kevin Hankes books and their extensions were so popular in my Kindergarten class- I can’t wait to try some in my new PreK class! Thanks for the reminder!
I would share this book with my wonderful little son!
My own kids and I checked this book out at our local library today. It is a sweet story. I can’t wait to share it with my preschool class next week!
I would share it with my kids (both at home and at school). I don’t think I have my own copy of this one–usually borrow it from the library.
I’d share this book with my preschool class, especially with the start of a new year! Even if I don’t win I’m planning to get the book from the library for my children-love Kevin Henkes’s books!
I’d love this for my 5 boys!
I would love to win the book “Chrysanthemum” by Kevin Henkea.
I would read it to my preschool class of 4 and 5 year olds. Thank you.
I just borrowed this book today from a teacher at my school. I’m going to use it next week with the name activities that you suggested. I would love to have my own personal copy of Chrysanthemum.
I will share this book with our little Mommy & Me book club! I think the 4 year olds would love it
I plan to share this with my daughters, age 4 and 2. My youngest is suspected of apraxia so I love finding engaging books for her. Thank you for the giveaway!
I would share this book with my classes. This school year I am working at two different preschools, both part time. I know that the students in my class, both toddlers, would enjoy hearing Kevin Henkes’ book. I love to read books and then do an accompaning project to go with it. I think there is a lot of potential in this book to do something amazing and fun with the children.
Chrysanthemum has always been one of my favorite books. My daughters are 23 and 25 now and when they were little it was one of the books I read to them all the time. Now I am a Pre-K teacher of 4 and 5 year olds and they also love this story. To win a copy of this book would be a wonderful addition to my class library.
Thank you for this opportunity
I’ll share it with my two kids, and possibly with my daughter’s class if they have guest readers like they did in kindergarden.
My daughters would love this! =]
This book, Chrysanthemum, will be a perfect story to read to my 4-year-olds the first week of school. The children are just coming into my classroom ( from their 3-yr-old class) and this will be a great way of introducing each children’s name. I have nametags already made and after reading this book, I will hold up each nametag & ask the child to raise her/his hand. I’ll ask a few questions (“Tell us about yourself”) then will say the name again, hopefully introducing each child to others that may not know them. This will involve each child in the mlorning circle & will be a good start to the day!
I would love to have the pleasure of reading this book to my preschoolers! I teach at a charter school in Dearborn. I think my students would enjoy Chrysanthemum!
I would share it with my son. He has a name that isn’t very common anymore so he probably will never find things with his name on them…but we think his name is perfect!
I will share it with my daughters. We love books.
i would share this with my 3 1/2 yr old who has a challenging name for kids and adults to say! we love this book from the library and really all of his books. jessica is my daughter’s latest favorite. : )
I would share this book with both my preschool class as well as my 8 year old daughter. My daughter, Lia, is my youngest child (#4 of 4). She was adopted when she was 7 months old. We changed her name when she was adopted from Min Ae to Lia Jeanne Min Ae giving her a middle name after my mom and keeping Min Ae as it was part of her. She always has to explain her extra long name to her friends so I think this would be a great book for her!
I will read and share Chrysanthemum with the children in my preschool class. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas you share with us!
I am a preschool teacher and enjoy reading and learning about your classroom and your ideas. I am actually doing the theme All About Me and my kids are enjoying learning about themselves, and drawing themselves. I will love to read the book “Chrysanthemum” by Kevin Henkes to my preschoolers because they will learn that their name is also perfect!
Love your blog!! Just found it and am excited to incorporate some of your ideas into my new preschool!
This has always been one of my favorite books!
Great ideas for sharing the book Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes. I teach Pre K students in Ohio. Our class is called The Penguins. Thank you!
Love his Birds book, and I would read it every day to my daughter, age 2, and son, age 4. It’ll be her first year of Playschool and his last…..sob,sob.

I would share it with my kids. We currently have Birds, by Kevin Henkes – we borrowed it from our local library. We love his books!
Would love to have this for my 2 kids!
I would share my copy of Chrysanthemum with my PreK class when discussing how special our names are.
I will share it with my classroom. It was one my favorite books to read.
I would love to win this book and add it to my growing classroom library! This is definitely a favorite, and my new years resolution was to add as many quality children’s books to my library as possible, so this would be wonderful! Thank you for the giveaway!
I am returning to teaching preschool this year after nine years of being home. I am starting to work on my units and realized there is a unit on “All About Me”. This book would be great for one of my lessons!
I would share this book with my little boys and my daycare kids. They always love a new book and we’ve never read this one before.
I would share this book with my daughter. This is one of her favorite books to get out the library and I know she would love to own it!
Crysanthemum is one of my favorite stories. I borrow it every year for my Pre-k class. I think it is such a great story to show that everyone is special and every name is unique!
