Christmas Book Challenge

One of my favorite authors of all time, Shannon Hale
wrote about this Christmas Book Challenge.  A great idea!
"So, let's challenge ourselves to give books. This Christmas, buying gifts for your children's friends? Let your kids choose books for those gifts. For neighbors, friends, teachers, family: give books. You can find $3 books in bookstores (mass market paperbacks or early reader books), or go all the way up to a $30 hardcover for nicer gifts. There are so many to choose from. Let's make it a literary holiday. Get books into people's hands! Flood the earth with stories!" From the blog of Shannon Hale

I have a girlfriend that has a "book fairy" that comes during December and leaves books for the kids. So much fun. I bought probably 20 1$ and 2$ books from scholastic (through school) for the kids for Christmas. Great idea!
