Thanks to Steven at Book Dads for letting me know about Share a Story – Shape a Future: A Blog Tour for Literacy, which will kick off one week from now on March 9. The tour is “an ensemble effort not only to celebrate reading among those of us who already love books, but to encourage each other to reach beyond ourselves and do it in a way that we are neither judging nor instructing others. This is a venue for communicating practical, useable, everyday ideas.”
Each day they will have a group of bloggers sharing ideas around a specific theme. Steven and his partner Brian will be posting about “Reading Aloud With Kids: A Dad’s Perspective,” on Wednesday, March 11.
I’m not officially part of the tour, since Mombian is not primarily a book blog. I do a fair number of book-related posts, however, so I’m going to do a bunch of extra ones next week to help promote the tour, including some advance peeks at soon-to-be-published books by one of the best children’s publishers around, IMHO.
I’m posting this today because today is also the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, and thus also the National Education Association’s Read Across America Day. (Thanks to Steven for the reminder on that as well. Has it been a year already?) I wish I could do what they do in Katroo . . . .
What is your current or all-time favorite children’s book?
Our all-time favorite children’s book is “One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dad’s by Johnny Valentine.
