To enter, kids need to look at the cover art for Toni Buzzeo’s forthcoming book No T Rex in the Library, and write a 50-750 word story explaining how Tess got on the T rex, and what happens next.  The stories will be judged by author Toni Buzzeo, with the best 10 submissions winning autographed copies of the book, and one grand prize of a half-hour Skype visit with the author. The contest is open to all librarians and teachers—including homeschoolers. I also contacted Ms. Buzzeo who confirmed for me that the contest is open to Canadian residents as well as Americans. Entries must be postmarked by March 12th, so get writing! Full contest details, including how to submit via email, available here.
