Win Personalised Books in our May competition
It's National Share-A-Story month, which is an annual celebration of story telling and story sharing. This year's theme is 'Picture a Story' and is a perfect time to open your favourite picture book and get your children reading.
One of the aims of this year's National Share-A-Story month is "to encourage youngsters of all ages to draw, illustrate, sketch and tell a story, however simple" and we're celebrating with a great competition to get the whole family involved in.
It's running throughout May 2017, and you can win both our personalised books.

- Tell us what your dog's favourite thing is to do, in a very short story (1-2 sentences is fine)
- Draw, paint, doodle or sketch a picture of your dog (or your favourite dog!) You could even include its favourite thing in the picture, e.g. maybe a ball, its supper, or something sillier!
There are 3 age categories for this competition, and 1 winner from each category will win both our personalised books.
- Ages 0-6
- Ages 7-11
- Ages 12+

What are we looking for?
We want you to have fun with your children and would like to encourage everyone to read, draw and share stories. Felt tip fun is just as welcome as fine art. Good luck and have fun drawing and sharing stories.
Need some inspiration? Joe (in our 0-6 years category) is here to help. Here is his brilliant drawing of Monty. Monty's favourite thing is being happy and that's why he has a big smile on his face.
We especially love Monty's excellent colour scheme and his pawprint collar tag! Thanks Joe. We're really looking forward to seeing all your drawings so don't forget to get them to us by 31st May!
