[Vision2020] What Book Got You Hooked?

[Bev Bafus]

I clearly remember like it was yesterday the delight when I realized that
the funny scribbles under the pictures in the book I was looking at had some
sort of meaning.  I could sound them out, and I could READ!

As I recall it was an ancient Early Reader of some sort.  And no, I don't
remember anyone teaching me to read.  I think I had just turned five.

>From there I just devoured my local library.

But my all time favorite read, that I will still read once a year to this
day, is Dodie Smith's original 101 Dalmatians.  It has little resemblance to
the film version, but it is roll on the floor hysterical!

  OK, I watched it.  Now what do I do.  Loved it.  I remember the book that
got me hooked.  My mother read it to me over and over.  The title:  Millions
of Cats and the story goes:  "Hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions
and billions and trillions of cats.  Cats here, cats there, cats and kittens
everywhere."  I'm sure it is no longer in print, but it was a wonderful
book.  This old couple decide to adopt one because they cannot take them all
so they let the cats decide and the cats get in a fight and only one is left
so the couple adopt it.  I don't remember it as a violent book; although
there was obviously a lot of cat mayhem and flying fur....

      The Campus Advisory Board will win money for First Book and help
deliver the magic of books to children if you follow this link to DONA'S
VIDEO and watch.  We've got 300 kids in Plummer, Whorley, and Moscow to buy
books for so we'd appreciate it if you'd pass the word.

      it's only 3 minutes    go now---to you tube and watch amateur
videography/literacy activism at it's best.

    What is First Book? Campus Advisory Board (CAB) is an active committee
of campus volunteers who carry out the mission of First Book and help
deliver the magic of books to children. CABs energize students, faculty and
staff to raise awareness and funds to provide book grants to existing
literacy programs on campus and in their community that serve children from
low-income families. First Book Campus Advisory Boards participate in fun
and innovative fundraisers, First Book corporate partner events, and
community events as literacy advocates.
