Build a Bear is doing a Summer Reading Program again this year (not as good as last year, but, hey....)

http://www.buildabear.com/lp/SummerReading2007/

In the past, AMC Theaters have also done something like this where kids earn free popcorn/snack packs for reading books, but I don't know if they will this year or not. We were never able to take advantage of it because the closest AMC is very far from here.

Oh, and Mervyn's did something too a few years ago. Aly got a deck of cards for reading 6 or 10 books.

Barnes and Noble does a reading program. I can't remember the details, but when you turn in your sheet you get a free book. (from a selection). I think you can actually do it twice and get 2 books.

Yes, that's right...we've done that one the past 2 years! That's my favorite--she's gotten some great books from B&N for that.

BTW, I'm the meanest mom in the world. ;o) When she does all these things, I don't let her double-dip! ;o) Not even with the library reading. I make her list separate books on each reading log.

Some of the free book choices at Barnes & Noble:

A Wrinkle in Time
Cal Ripken, Jr.
American Girl Addy Mystery
Landry News by Andrew Clements
Library Card by Jerry Spinelli
Water Everywhere
MTH: Dinosaurs before Dark #1

Of course, that's all I can remember, there were about 20 choices, different levels.
