Reno author Garrett Sutton is giving away 500 free copies of “Santa Dog: the Incredible Adventures of Santa and Denby” because he wants to share the magic of Christmas and reading with kids everywhere.

Santa Dog encourages children to read. It is targeted for ages 7 to 10.

Sutton, who has sold more than 850,000 books, is covering the shipping costs of the books. Only one book will be shipped per address, and the addresses must be in the United States. Each book is a teacher’s edition that comes with lesson plans teachers and parents alike can use to further improve a child’s reading and comprehension skills.
