Celebrate Children's Book Week

Children's Book Week May 11-17, 2009

A Week to celebrate children and books. It all began in 1913 when Franklin Matthiews, librarian for the Boys Scouts of America, began touring the country in search of higher standards of children's books. We have since reached that goal and now celebrate a week of remembering great books for kids and promoting literacy as a nation.

My new favorite book that I want to share with you is Zorgamazoo by Robert Paul Weston. If you love Dr. Seuss and Lemony Snicket you are in for a real treat!
