  Let us celebrate books, libraries, librarians, authors and illustrators. Let's take a dive into the world of books and find out all kinds of things we never knew before. Did you know, for example, that Ben Franklin, in addition to inventing all kinds of things and being a diplomat, also was the first person to create a lending library in America. Have you ever wondered who wrote the first books and what they wrote about? What is a ISBN number for?
  These and many other questions will be answered in this excellent picture book which explores the world of books. Presented in the form of an alphabet book, this volume can be enjoyed on many levels. Young children will appreciate the beautifully rendered artwork and the simple rhymes which accompany the pictures. Older children will find the sidebar texts interesting and full of information which will be new to them and which will surely surprise them as well.
  This is one of the titles in an excellent series of Alphabet and Numbers books published by Sleeping Bear Press.

Action Alert

Reading is Fundamental (RIF) needs your help. The President's proposed fiscal year 2009 budget released in February eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program, which is the RIF Book Distribution Program. Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF will be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation's youngest and most at-risk children. RIF serves 4.6 million children.
