That kaiku was written by Lily, age 5. This next one is by Anna, age 12:
I got such a wide age range of kids that I thought I should have a GRAND PRIZE for both a 3-8 category and a 9-13 category, and those are they. My attractive celebrity judges also selected three runners up. In no particular order...
by Veronica, age 9:
Cerberus is sad
he wants a ball, a bone, and
someone to play with
by Trevor, age 4:
Dad, I know what the
important thing about horned
monsters is: the horns
by Jack, age 3 1/2:
I love aliens.
One, two, three, four, five of them,
flying in spaceships.
The GRAND PRIZE winners will receive the original art posted above, a signed copy of Frankenstein Takes the Cake, and a lunchbox filed with mysterious things. Runners-up will receive books with their haiku drawn on the title page. I probably won't send anything out until November, as I'm about to leave for North Carolina for a bit. I need Jack and Veronica's parents or guardian to email me so I can get an address to which I can send your books. I think I can reach everyone else through the email addresses posted on their profiles or blogs.
I think that's it.

Congrats to the winners and to everyone who entered the contest. There were sooooo many wonderful entries it was hard narrowing them down!
Yes, congrats! What a cool contest and what fun it was to read all of them.
LOL...that one by Trevor brings a smile to my face every time. Heh heh.
Wow! Anna will be thrilled! Thanks for running this fun contest.
Oh, wow! Trevvy's gonna be psyched! Thanks, Adam -- this was great fun!
Thank-you for the prize Adam Rex! The picture you drew is fun! I want to put it on the ceiling so I can look at it while I go to sleep. When we looked at your blog today we were so happy. Thank-you!
