DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR FREE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you all have been reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just a reminder that Barnes and Noble and Borders are offering free books to children who have been reading over the summer. Just bring a list of 8 books that you have completed to the stores and they will let you choose from a select group of books. TD Bank is also offering to deposit $10 into an account in your name for reading 10 books. These are such nice little perks for reading, but the best rewards are the good things that are happening in your brains while you are reading. So keep it up. Enjoy the rest of the summer!!

I SAW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took my family to see The Last Airbender-Avatar. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie was really well done and followed the books closely. The movie only covered some of the series, so we can look forward to many sequels. Now would be a good time to catch up on the other books if you haven't read them yet.

ARE THERE ANY BEVERLY CLEARY FANS OUT THERE????

I am so glad that movie writers are looking at popular children's books for inspiration for new movies for kids. It is Beverly Cleary's turn now. Ramona and Beezus will be out in the theaters soon. So, now would be a great time to read any of the Ramona books. Why not check out: Ramona, age 8; Ramona the Pest; Ramona and her Mother; Ramona and her Father; Ramona the Brave and Ramona's World. They are fun to read. As usual, let me know what you guys are reading and your thoughts on what you read or see at the movies.
