Happy Haulidays! Chronicle Books Giveaway

With the approach of Thanksgiving, my anxiety about the "gift list" is starting to build. I like to get my shopping done well in advance of Christmas so that I can enjoy the holiday.  At the Chronicle Books site, I could literally shop for everyone on my list - what an amazing selection of unique books!

Right now, Chronicle is hosting an amazing giveaway - Happy Haulidays - bloggers create a wish list of Chronicle Books valued up to $500 and are entered for a chance to win the entire list!  The best part is that one commenter will also win the entire list if the blogger wins!  Wow wow!

Here is the list I have assembled (organized by recipient):

For the children:

Learning to Ski with Mr. Magee One winter morning, Mr. Magee and his little dog, Dee, head out bright and early to learn how to ski. But what begins as a pleasant day in the snow quickly goes downhill when a run-in with a curious moose sends them flying through the air and hanging above an abyss! How will Dee and Magee find their way out of this snowy situation?

Penguins, Penguins Everywhere! A parade of irresistible penguins—from climates warm and cold—swim, slide, and waddle across the pages of Penguins, Penguins, Everywhere!

The traditional Nutcracker tale gets turned on its head in this rollicking Christmas adventure, based on the hit musical A Nutty Nutcracker Christmas by the popular family music rock star Ralph Covert and playwright G. Riley Mills. Includes a bonus CD of songs from the musical, featuring a read-aloud track with the music and story woven together.
