Read Across America Day 2008

I just got back from Topaz Elementary School a little while ago. For the third year in a row, I’ve participated in the NEA’s Read Across America Day.

Once again, I read some Robert Munsch books to local students (third graders this time). This year, it was I Have to Go! (which is about what you think it’s about) and Mud Puddle. That’s right, I’m not above pandering to third graders with gross-out humor. I’m not ashamed.

Munsch’s books didn’t become popular until I had grown up out of his target age range, but he doesn’t seem to have written a dud yet. In previous years, I read his books Show and Tell and Wait and See.
