Poundstone gives back to reading community

Comedian Paula Poundstone was recently named national spokesperson for Friends of Libraries USA, and she says her own intellectual oddity, quickness and curiosity can be traced to a book read to her by her kindergarten teacher. The book was The Five Chinese Brothers by Claire Huchet Bishop and Kurt Wiese. Poundstone knows books both as a reader and a writer, the author of a comedy collection and several funny math textbooks for elementary school children, The Math with a Laugh series.
