Pennsylvania has this program called, "one book, one child". If you keep track of the books you read for the month of April and meet your goal, they give you the book that they are doing for the program. Every year it is a different book, so it is a great way to get some free books. This year the book was called, "Stop Snoring Bernard." They also have a party where the author comes talks about the book and the library provides fun activities that are related to the book. For the sake of complete honest ... there is also cake involved! Lucas and I attended this event, last week. Lucas loved it. He is a big fan of animals so this was definitely his kind of book and party! Plus he loves cake! He even sat up front with the rest of the kids while the author (who was also the illustrator) gave his presentation. Lucas interacted with the group and presenter, and just had a riot! The author even signed his copy of the book. At first Lucas was right up there ready to get his book signed, but the author moved so he could sit down and Lucas got shuffled and pushed out of the way in the process. It didn't phase him, though, and he did not have a problem stepping up and getting his book signed. We won't mention the part where he went to the bathroom to wash his hands, without telling me and I spent several panicked moments looking for him!
