Nooo, it needs to be a weekly award so that all the Mumpers can have a change to get an Official Mumper Book Hero Award! Everyone can participate as often as possible and valuable bragging rights might encourage others to play.

Thrift stores are a good source of books to leave places and I have never had a parent turn down an offer to buy books for their children. They don’t have to be expensive, learning sort of books, comic books have their place.

Ohhh, I guess I hadn’t realized that Higgs wasn’t just another pain in the butt cat.

I"m glad you posted though, you reminded me to tell you that I’d be happy to send Rox a couple of books scheduled to arrive a day or so before the BIG CHANGE. Coloring books still count as “books=fun” in my mind if reading is a struggle without an adult. Besides, who doesn’t love getting a mystery package in the mail? 'Specially when your mom’s going to give you a little brother instead of the sister you asked for!
