Haul-idays Giveaway!

Enter here for a chance to win a "haul" of Chronicle books valued at nearly $500!

Comment at the end of this post by Dec. 10 and you'll be automatically entered in a drawing to win the 29 books listed below.

Be sure to leave a way to contact you, either through your comment profile or by emailing me with your email address.

Yesterday, Chronicle contacted bloggers across the web to post their favorite Chronicle books for the "Haul-idays."

In turn, each blogger and the readers who comment on their lists are entered in the giveaway to win those books.

That means one set of Chronicle books will be given to a reader and another to a blogger, for a total value of about $1,000.

To enter, you must be a U.S. resident 18 years or older. Chronicle will announce the winners Dec. 13!

  39. Wow! Lots of awesome children's books! I mixed mine up a bit more, but I still think the kids' books won out! Cake Pops! I didn't see it before I put my list together, or it would have been on there. But we do share Olive, the Other Reindeer and Moma Modern Play House! Good luck!
