And the winner is ...

KATE!

Congratulations! Kate was chosen in a random drawing to win a free, autographed copy of A New Job for Dilly. Thank you to everyone who took the time to follow the blog tour and leave comments. It was a lot of fun. Thank you to my hosts -- you were awesome! I couldn't get over how creative everyone was, which is what made the tour so much fun. We learned about rats, pickles, jobs and the importance of reading to kids. We also featured interviews with Dilly's illustrator, Lisa Oakman, as well as the big rat himself -- Dilly! I hope you had as much fun as I did. I'm looking forward to more adventures with Dilly.

Also, thanks to everyone who took the time to post my tour schedule on their blog or enter my previous contest to win a framed wildlife picture. The winners were Kim Kasch and Hilary Pinski. That contest was announced here. If Hilary Pinski and Kate can email me their address, I'll get their prizes to them as soon as possible. My email is renamoodyblue@yahoo.com. I still have copies of A New Job for Dilly, so you can order them directly from me through my website. I'd be happy to sign them for you or your child. Thanks again for participating in my first tour -- Dilly & I appreciate your support.
