We are pleased to host a giveaway of the picture book, Masha Munching by Amalia Hoffman (Yeehoo Press 2022). Enter to win a copy in the Rafflecopter below!
About the story: Masha the goat is tired of eating the same boring farm food every day. She says goodbye to her beloved friends and sets off on her search to find something else to eat. Along the way, Masha discovers a wonderful restaurant. A fancy waiter welcomes her in. But Masha’s choices of “delicious foods” and her behavior doesn’t seem to be appropriate for restaurant dining. Masha realizes that everything is tastier when shared with good friends and the freedom to behave like a goat. She returns to the farm and delights her friends by using her experience at the restaurant to make new dishes for them.
