March 2nd - Let's "Read Across America"

Celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss. Join people across America in this annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading. Pick up a book and read to your siblings, neighbors, family or friends!

Read Across America Poem

You're never too old, too wacky, too wild,
To pick up a book and read with a child.
You're never too busy, too cool, or too hot,
To pick up a book and share what you've got.

In schools and communities,
Let's gather around,
Let's pick up a book,
Let's pass it around.

There are kids all around you,
Kids who will need
Someone to hug,
Someone to read.

Come join us March 2nd
Your own special way
And make this America's
Read to Kids Day.

Google's Wonder wheel

Have you used the Wonder Wheel feature on Google yet? If not, you might want to look at the visual searching tool. If you choose the "Show options" button, you'll see "Wonder wheel". Click and you'll see your search represented in a visual array. From here you can click each link to define your search. I think you'll like narrowing your results in this way as you can see in the example below. Have fun with "Wonder wheel"! (the Google link works)
