PickyKidPix loves Katie Woo even though she discovered this series in 5th grade while messing around in her school library. She encouraged me to continue with the Katie Woo book giveaways because she wants to spread the love, and copies come my way that land in her room. I told her that a spinoff series about Pedro was coming out. She approved.
In celebration of the new Katie Woo spinoff series, Pedro, I’m doing a huge giveaway!
EIGHT Winners for Katie Woo or Pedro Early Chapter Book Giveaway
FIVE winners will each get three Katie Woo books! This makes a nice summer reading package for ages 6 and up!
Katie Woo & Friends by Fran Manushkin
These are the things that Katie Woo and my daughter, PickyKidPix, have in common:
- They can be thoughtless towards their friends.
- They play soccer.
- They were late to lose their baby teeth (which drove them crazy).
- They both have Golden Retrievers.
Katie Woo’s Big Idea Journal by Fran Manushkin
Katie Woo fans can use these writing prompts on the beautifully illustrated pages to draw, doodle, write stories and hatch plans. [journal with writing prompts, ages 6 and up]
Katie Woo Rules the School by Fran Manushkin
Katie doesn’t always behave well herself. When Jake loses his new toy airplane, Katie has something to do with that but it’s only when Jake is ready to cry that she owns up to her toy theft. Young readers can relate to Katie Woo as a real person who makes both good and bad decisions. I think that is is the appeal of this series. [early chapter book, ages 6 and up]
THREE Winners for ARC copy of Pedro: First Grade Hero by Fran Manushkin
First grade is full of ups and downs for Pedro. First his bug project for school goes awry when his brother lets his insects out. Things look up when he works hard at soccer and gets chosen for goalie! Pedro starts a mystery club with Katie Woo and JoJo which turns out to be a good thing because his family keeps losing their stuff. The class election pits Pedro against his friend Katie Woo. Who will win? This gentle early chapter book reflects real life for early elementary school kids. They will relate to the conflicts that Pedro faces and feel like they’ve made a new friend. [early chapter book, ages 6 and up]

My students love Katie Woo because they also love soccer. I have a whole basket of soccer books in my classroom library. I’m sure they would love to read about Pedro too.
Hi Jennifer,
There is a soccer story in the first Pedro book! I’m so glad your students like Katie Woo! Thanks for entering!
Emma loves Katie Woo’s spunk. I think Lily is ready to really get into these books, and I could see Johnny liking Pedro.
Hi MaryAnne,
It’s such a gentle series of kids who make mistakes and then realize their errors and fix them. I really like that aspect of everyday life for a kid.
Nope, not yet, but excited to learn about them.
Hi Lisa,
If you have a little reading Early Chapter Books, this is a great series. Well, both series are great and connected.
Hannah has a Katie Woo book. She’s the perfect age for them.
Hi Shecki,
I hope she wins!
They have not discovered these books yet, so it would be fantastic to win, so I can introduce them to my students!

Not sure if I am entering a comment correctly. Sorry if I sent the same thing twice but it doesn’t look as if it went through. The website box is highlighted in red. Does this mean I need a website to leave a comment? I have the URL for my website but no content yet.
Hi Emma,
No problem. Good luck!
We have not tried them, but would love to! I found out about these books here, and they look darling.
Thanks for entering Regina!
