We'll be reviewing Mike Boldtman's WONDERFUL and hilarious children's book, The Gophers in Farmer Burrows' Field, in a few weeks. Meanwhile, Mike has a great contest going on at his site - STACK something! Here's what he had to say...

Hello everyone!  Well my book, The Gophers in Farmer Burrows' Field, been out now for a couple of weeks.  A story of an ordinary farmer who has some not so ordinary gophers move into one of his fields.  Some gophers who have a peculiar taste for stacking stuff.

I wanted to have a little celebration event to help kick things off this month and so the FIRST EVER STACKTASTIC! has been born.

All you have to do to enter is scribble, sketch, draw, paint, film, take a picture, or even write a poem of something that the gophers made/could make into a tower in Farmer Burrows’ Field!  Anything stacked will do!  Have fun being creative.  I want to see crazy drawings, photos of lego towers, shoot even a film of you taking a photo of stacks of “stacktastic” drawings would do!  And for those who want to really get into the Farmer Burrows mood, download and print out this page of Farmer Burrows and his best friend checking out whatever YOU want to put there!

The template page can be found on my blog if you would like to give it a whirl:
