HBB is volunteering to blog and tweet live book reviews from First Book-Oahu‘s Book Fair & Fundraiser! Last year the fundraiser was in August and HBB did 8 book reviews in 8 hours! We asked kids in the store and First Book Members to give us suggestions and we learned/reviewed some great keiki books! It was really hard work, but tons of fun!
Well, we’re doing it again and this time you guys get to choose the books! Leave a comment here, on Facebook, or send a Twitter, with your favorite keiki book title or suggestion… we’ll each pick 3 and read and review. PLUS, if we can get 20 more “fans” on Facebook and/or 50 re-tweets of our Book Fair announcements on Twitter, then HBB will purchase those books (proceeds go to First Book-Oahu) and then donate them to First Book to be given away!
So tell all your friends to come to Barnes & Noble Kahala Mall, March 12-14! First Book-Oahu will be there with crafts and a prize wheel for the keiki to spin and win! There will be story-times with special appearances by Cassie Sumimoto Miss Teen Hawaii USA and Clifford the Big Red Dog… plus, on Saturday at 2pm, Duane “Dog” Chapman will be signing copies of his new book! Plus, we’ll be there!
With any purchase you make, even at the coffee shop, just say “First Book” and a portion of the proceeds will go to helping First Book-Oahu provide books and reading materials to needy children and families in Hawai’i. It’s such a worthy cause because not only does First Book encourage and promote literacy, they help other community programs do so as well. Visit their new blog at www.firstbookoahu.com for a schedule of activities and to print out fliers 🙂
