I immediately raised my hand remembering fondly my days of visiting the fair as a child. I would spend what felt like hours combing through the shelves in search of my perfect book. In fact, the fair is where I discovered Judy Blume, C.S. Lewis and Sweet Valley High! I also believe the Scholastic Book Fair is why I became an author and award-winning screenwriter.
In the coming weeks, the PTA met to talk about the set up of the fair, how to distribute the flyers to families, and how to make sure every child received a book, even if they did not have money with them that day.
The fair opened, and the children had a wonderful time shopping and learning about new stories and authors.
