Teens and Toddlers Celebrate Reading March 20

by

Whether your kids are toddlers or teens they have a reading-related reason to celebrate next Friday, March 20.

For the older kids, Borders nationwide are hosting Twilight movie release parties, starting at 10 p.m. The night will include trivia, the Twilight movie awards (e.g. Best Bella-Edward Moment), a vampire-themed scavenger hunt around the store, and raffle prizes. Fans can get more info about the parties, as well as a voting ballot for the awards, online at Borders’ Twilight page.

If your kids - or your inner child - is too young for vampiric lovevery-hingry-caterpillar stories, party in honor of Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar instead. This classic, award-winning, international best-selling children’s picture book celebrates its 40th anniversary on March 20. Since its publication in 1969, 29 million copies of the book have sold worldwide and it has been published in over 45 languages.

Whether you and your young readers prefer characters that drink blood or ones that eat fresh produce, there’s a reason to celebrate reading next weekend.
