Upload picture of your children's favourite animal (either photo or drawing) for chance to win a signed, limited edition Eric Carle print

[AliceMumsnet]

Everybody has a favourite animal; Lucy Cousins' is a leopard, Jon Klassen's is a duck, and Eric Carle? He loves cats! In the brand new picture book What?s Your Favourite Animal by Eric Carle and Friends, Eric asks some of the best children's book illustrators of our time to each draw their favourite animal. The result is a colourful parade of animals from giraffes with their heads in the clouds to fuzzy dogs to squishy snails!

To celebrate What's Your Favourite Animal? we are offering Mumsnetters the chance to win an amazing limited edition print of Eric Carle's favourite animal, signed by Eric Carle himself, plus a copy of the book. Five runners up will win a copy of the book. All you have to do is upload an image of your DC's favourite animal to this thread (either a photo or your DC's drawing).

The competition is open until Friday 18 April and we'll announce the winner of the limited edition print and book shortly after on this thread.

This competition is sponsored by Walker Books.

When do we find out who won?

Thanks to everyone who entered their animal photos and drawings onto this thread. This competition is now closed. Winners to be announced later this week. Good luck

Ooh I hope they announce it soon!

So do I - my daughters are hounding me about it incessantly. I fear there will be tears when they don't win! I may have to come up with a consolation prize!

C'mon HQ!

any news?

Please put us out of our misery!

Hi everyone, apologies for the delay on this, we are chasing this up with the publishers now and will get back to you as soon as possible with the winner.

Congratulations to kilogramlady, who has been chosen to receive the signed, limited edition print from Eric Carle. The publishers loved your DD's tiger drawing. We will pm you with details on how to claim your prize. Five runners up to be announced soon.

DD is very excited and can't wait to hang the print and read the book... Big thank you to MN and Walker Books!

Aww well done Kilogram's DD! :)

has anyone won the runners up prize?

Not yet Chaffinch, we're still waiting...

It seems to be taking an awfully long time to choose the runner ups

It took an awfully long time to choose the winner too!

True. It's taken so long that my DD's have actually forgotten all about it so have finally stopped hassling me.

The tiger was a very worthy winner.

Once again, apologies for the delay in announcing the runners up for this competition. We will let you know by tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for waiting

BREATHE!!! you will pass out

phew! Think that was a record for me!
