2004 Children's Book Week
November 15-21, 2004
Let's rock...
let's roll... let's move... let's go... let's discover... let's fly...
let's do it all... with children's books. Since 1919, educators,
librarians, booksellers, and families have celebrated Children's Book
Week during the week before Thanksgiving. This year, join the
party and share the joy of reading... Let's Book.
A celebration
of the written word, Children's Book Week introduces young people to
new authors and ideas in schools, libraries, homes and bookstores.
Through Children's Book Week, the
Children's Book Council encourages young people
and their caregivers to discover the complexity of the world beyond
their own experience through books.
