Inspired by this, uDraw Your City has launched a nationwide art contest, in which young artists ages 6 to 17 years old have the opportunity to share what they love most about their city through art. Contestants can use a uDraw GameTablet to illustrate what they love most about their city - though entries may also be created in traditional print formats using any artistic medium.
THQ and uDraw invite kids to embrace their artistic inspiration and to share "what your city, your town, or your community means to you." Maybe it's the silhouette of your favorite building, a drawing of your friends at the park, or a stencil of your favorite local athlete.
The submission period runs through October 31, and the grand prize winner will receive a package worth more than $15,000, including a uDraw, and a $10,000 cash prize that the winner can choose to apply toward a college scholarship. Additionally, THQ will donate $10,000 to the winner's school of choice to help support its art program. Entries are judged on artistic merit (based on age group), creativity, and adherence to the overall city theme.

This book is sure to attract all ages in children. My 7 year old son loved reading the book. He liked the way the words rhymed, and also said the pictures were nice. My two year old niece loved the book, and said again, so we could read it to her again.
The cover is cute. I look forward to seeing more of Marianne's work. 5 out of 5 stars. I received the book from the publisher.
The Darling Strumpet by Gillian Bagwell is a must read for history lovers. It shows that Gillian has done lots of research and has great admiration for Nell Gwynn, mistress of King Charles II.
Nell Gwynn was born into poverty, but her wit and beauty drew her into the enthralling world of 17th century London theater shortly after the return of Charles II to the throne. As one of the first actresses in the newly re-opened playhouses, Nell catapulted to fame, winning the affection of legions of fans--and heart of the most powerful man in all of England, King Charles II.
Since Nell started out as simply one of the people and then became a well-known actress before catching the King's eye, Nell remained a beloved favorite of England common people until her dying day, unlike Charles' many other unpopular mistresses.
I didn't want to see this book end. 4 out 5 stars!
I was sent a copy for review from the publisher.
