We're excited to tell you more about this delightful Overlook title for young readers, but first, winner-winner-chicken-dinner time. We have LOTS of winners to announce today! (Disclosure: we selected our winners by listing all entrants from the blog, Twitter, and Facebook and using Random.org.)

First up, our TRUE GRIT bonanza winner, who will receive a a copy of the new movie tie-in edition of the book, a copy of our limited edition throwback version, a poster from the new TRUE GRIT movie and a pair of passes to an AMC theatre that we hope you'll use to see TRUE GRIT--is WORDLILY from the blog comments! We hope you and your father-in-law enjoy this movie as much as we did.

Our FIVE winners for copies of our new movie tie-in edition are

Congrats, all!

Due to the overwhelmingly great response, we have THREE P.G. Wodehouse winners. Congrats to EXILE BIBLIOPHILE on the blog, @GilionDumas on Twitter and Shayne B. on Facebook! We'll be doing more Wodehouse giveaways in the future, so make sure to follow our blog, Twitter, and Facebook!

All of the above--email kgales at overlookny dot com with your mailing addresses to claim your prizes!

And now onto today's main event...we're giving away THREE SIGNED COPIES of LET'S HAVE A BITE: A BANQUET OF BEASTLY FEASTS, by one of Overlook's favorite authors, Robert L. Forbes. It's illustrated by legendary artist Ronald Searle, and the whimsical drawings make Mr. Forbes' delightful rhymes come to life. One lucky winner will also receive a signed poster!

Here's an example of one of our favorite poems.

Flick the fly
Is no nice guy,
A huge but tiny pest.
He'll buzz my head
Until he's fed —
Never giving me a rest.

And one of our favorite illustrations (not with that poem!)

This book is geared towards children ages 4-8, but the rhymes and drawings can be appreciated by anyone young at heart!

TO WIN: Leave a blog comment, Tweet this contest, or leave a comment on our Facebook page. You can enter once in every area and we'll announce the winners tomorrow morning as we announce what you can look forward to for the tenth day of Overlook Christmas!
