Win £500 of books for your school and more! Ends midnight 14/12/11

The lovelies at Tesco are running a fantastic competition which means you (the kids!) could be in for a chance to win an amazing 83 piece art chest or a Crayola set for themselves, plus £500 for books for your school.

It’s really easy to enter and will keep the kids occupied for a while (nice one Tesco, we like quiet and occupied children!). To enter all you have to do is…..

1. Read the exclusive short story He Should have Listened to Grandad by Steve Hartley.

2. Draw a picture to illustrate it (be as creative as you can here kids!).

3. Ask an adult to scan or take a photo of your masterpiece and send it in to us using the form here!

There are three categories – two to five years; six to eight years; nine to twelve years and there’s one winner from each category. The winner of the two to five category will receive £50 worth of Crayola products, the winners of both the six to eight and nine to 12 categories will each win a Reeves Watercolour Art Chest. Each winner will also receive a £500 cheque for their nominated school or nursery to spend on books.

I’m not sure but wouldn’t a donation of £500 worth of books to your school get you out of all bake sale duties from now until the end of your child’s school life? Excuse me while I grab Kieran and the crayons!

The Judge – (Ed Vere) and a chance to win more prizes!

Top author and illustrator Ed Vere is judging the competition. He is taking over the Tesco Magazine twitter account this Monday 12th December at 4pm for a live chat and has also given them a stunning illustration to giveaway as a prize plus books. All the details are here. (Does anyone else think that he looks like a young Richard Branson?)

You can tweet questions in advance using the hashtag #kidsbookclub

This is a great competition and another way to get the kids using their imagination!

Good luck all!!!
