COMP CLOSED: Win Father’s Day 2-book pack!

Being the first Sunday in September, Father’s Day often stealthily sneaks up on us. But not this year, because we’re getting this giveaway completed before 3 September to allow our winners to choose to either gift it or keep the books for themselves!

We have THREE packs to give away, each including these two new books:

 

How to Dad Volume 2 by Jordan Watson

This Kiwi’s guide to being a dad went viral on YouTube, so he’s back to share some choice wisdom, bro. As the author says, “I might not be a fancy parenting person, but I am a black belt in Dadding. Yes, that's a thing. It's totally a thing.”

 

Where the Wild Dads Went by Katie Blackburn, illustrated by Sholto Walker

Anyone familiar with Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are will love this homage to it in both style and illustration. After being called A Wild Thing by Mum for forgetting the milk after having a few cheeky ones after work, this ‘tired and emotional' dad finds himself drifting off to the place where the Wild Dads went… Partying ensues (probably in a man cave).

Okay, so what do you need to do to win one of the THREE packs this week? Simply describe YOUR DAD in three words. The three entries we like best will each receive a book pack!

THIS COMPETITION HAS CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES! WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
