Cumbernauld and Kilsyth kids could win Myro goodies in drawing competition

We ran a competition to win Myro, the Smallest Plane in the World books a few months ago and it proved so popular we’ve decided to do it again - only bigger and better this time.

This time, the winners will receive prizes not just for themselves but for their school or pre-school.

The first prize winner will get a set of six Myro picture story books plus an activity pack for themselves, another set of six books for their school or pre-school, and 35 activity packs for their classmates! Three runners-up will also receive an activity pack plus Myro picture story book.

And what do you have to do to win all this? Simply send us a drawing of Myro or one or more of his friends.

Our competition is open to children aged from three to seven years.The winning entries will be chosen by us and will also be printed in the paper!

Myro, the Smallest Plane in the World is an exciting new series of six children’s picture books and one song book, all about aeroplanes and all set in awesome Australia.

In book 1, Myro Arrives in Australia, Myro the microlight meets his new hangar-mates and is quickly off exploring. He soon makes a daring rescue of a sheep in trouble, flying it back to the farm in time to help deliver a little lamb.

In Myro and the Bush Fire, Myro is hailed a hero for showing quick thinking and bravery when he takes off through thick black smoke to get help for his aeroplane friends trapped on the farm.

In “Myro and the Tiger Moth”, Myro meets a broken down old biplane and goes on a search for parts he needs to become fully restored and flying again.

In Myro and the Railcar, Myro tries to race the shiny and wise old diesel railcar to the top of Australia’s Blue Mountain railway. But after a near miss and the fright of his life, Myro makes a new friend and learns that wisdom is much safer than speed.

In Myro and the Skydivers, Myro flies higher than he’s ever flown before to prove he can take a skydiver parachuting, just like the big planes can! But he knows he should have asked permission and trouble is now just around the corner...

In Myro and the Jet Fighter, the last story book of this first series, Myro is quick to swallow his pride when a mocking supersonic plane crashes in the Australian Bush. The Smallest Plane in the World races to the rescue and soon becomes the toast of the Jet Fighters back at the airbase.

Entry is open to children aged three to seven years. Entries should be sent to: Myro Competition, Cumbernauld News/Kilsyth Chronicle, 10-12 Tay Walk, Cumbernauld G67 1BU. All entries to be received by Tuesday, August 30. Our usual competition rules apply – and sorry, but we can’t return artwork.
