Prepare to celebrate Children's Book Week

Rise Up Reading! is the theme for the 88th celebration of Children's Book Week, scheduled for November 12-18, 2007. Communities and schools throughout the United States will create their own unique celebrations, including storytelling, parties, author and illustrator appearances, and other book-related events. There are also Children's Book Week materials available from the Children's Book Council, which sponsors the event, including a poster by Edward Koren and a bookmark poem by Pam Munoz Ryan.

Further information about Children's Book Week can be found at your local library or bookstore, as well as on the CBC website.
