"1 Zany Zoo" by Lori Degman Wins the Cheerios® Spoonfuls of Stories® Children's Book contest!
Cheerios recently completed its second New Author Contest for previously unpublished children's book authors, and Lori Degman won the top prize for her story, "1 Zany Zoo." In addition to winning a $5,000 cash prize from Cheerios, Degman earned the opportunity to have her book reviewed by Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Division, and they have offered to publish Degman's story as part of a book deal. Degman's book is expected to be released in 2010, initially as a paperback distributed inside Cheerios boxes, and later in hardcover sold in the market.
Cheerios also named two runners-up in the contest: Tameka Fryer Brown, for her story "I'm Not Eating That!," and Joan Stradling, for her story, "Who Invites a Pig to Dinner?" Both Brown and Stradling will receive a cash prize of $1,000 from Cheerios.
