Win a family holiday in a National Trust Holiday Cottage with Barefoot Books!

Independent children's publisher Barefoot Books has launched a national drawing competition especially for young children in association with the National Trust, running from 1 October to 31 December 2002.

Children all over the UK are being offered the chance to win a week's family holiday in a National Trust Holiday Cottage.

Best-selling Barefoot character Bear asks children up to age 8 to draw a picture of their home with help from Debbie Harter's award-winning book, Bear at Home (Barefoot Books, Ј4.99) which features Bear giving a tour of his cosy abode. The winning entrant will win a week's family holiday in a National Trust Holiday Cottage and 3 runners-up will each receive a year's free National Trust family membership. Prizes will be announced in February 2003.

Publisher of Barefoot Books, Tessa Strickland, says: 'We are very proud to launch our first ever national drawing competition and we are particularly delighted to be partnering with such a family-friendly organisation as the National Trust. This competition demonstrates our commitment to fostering creativity in children.'
