“All proceeds from the competition go towards the cost of caring for neglected, ill treated and unwanted animals at our SPCA. So you’ll help other dogs and cats just by entering the competition.
“There are some fun prizes to be won. And everyone gets a unique e-book, Fruitbat, the dog who dreamed she could fly, by Denise Murray, to start reading right away. You’ll also get a Book Log to keep a record of how many pages or books your child reads during the week,” Fleischer said.
She added she also has a hard copy of the book to giveaway to a lucky entrant.
