This is just to say we have selected the winners in our Melissa Sweet Book Giveaway!
After riding around in a red wheelbarrow and consuming an inordinate number of juicy plums, Cornelius got right down to work.
Check out the official Children’s Book Week website for ideas about how to celebrate. There are suggestions for kids, parents, teachers, librarians, and publishers. The winners of the Children’s Choice Book Awards will be announced on Wednesday, May 13th. It’ll be interesting to see how children and teens across the country voted.
The above poster is available free (plus postage), and you can also download free bookmarks, like the one below. The entire downloadable toolkit is here.
Elaine Magliaro at Wild Rose Reader has compiled yet another fabulous resource list that’s perfect for this week. Love how she’s included all the major award winners from 2008. It’s great having all this information in one place — so if you’re looking not only for activity suggestions, but for ideas about which titles to select, check in with Elaine!
Have fun and happy reading!

HOPE YOUR DAY IS DELICIOUS AND DELIGHTFUL!!
No socks greeting by Carrie Peters.
Okay, let me see your feet. Are you wearing socks?
If so, take them off immediately! Today is No Socks Day!
That’s right — a special day set aside to help the environment by doing a little less sock laundry. Happy toes, here I come!
Nope nope nope. You won’t find any socks here today. Not a one.
