Could you be a JUDY MOODY CONTEST winner? (Signs point to yes!)

To celebrate two new Judy Moody books -- Judy Moody Predicts the Future and The Judy Moody Mood Journal -- Candlewick Press is sponsoring a contest for teachers.

Everyone knows Judy Moody has a mood for every occasion. Have you ever had a “Judy Moody” type in your classroom? A student who’s feisty, funny, and independent-minded? Sometimes grumpy, sometimes jealous, sometimes ready to take on the world? And of course, ready to meet any challenge with originality and spirit? Tell us about her (or him)! In 500 words or less, introduce us to your inimitable student and describe what makes that student so Judy Moody-ish.

The three teachers who tell the best “Judy Moody” story from their own teaching experience will receive:

two complete sets of the Judy Moody books in hardcover autographed by the author and illustrator – a total of eight books
autographed paperbacks of Judy Moody for each student in your class
one copy of The Judy Moody Mood Journal
a Judy Moody T-shirt
a Magic 8 Ball for predicting the future

Five runners-up will also win great Judy Moody stuff: a Judy Moody T-shirt for you and bookplates signed by the author and illustrator for you and each student in your class.
