The 2008 Share a Story Contest has ended.

• The child tells the story, which is clearly written down by the adult in ink or typed and pasted onto the entry form. Only use the child's words. We want to encourage vocabulary development in the child. We don't expect preschoolers to use words they don't understand.

• The child illustrates the story – this can be one picture or many. The illustration (drawing) should only be the work of the child. We are expecting that some of the art work will not be easily identifiable. We want to encourage each attempt at writing in order to build on the child's success.

• The participating adult must completely fill out the entry form, sign it and mail it, along with the story and illustration to:
