First Book, Cheerios, and John Lithgow

I discovered this today --

When I clicked to give at the Literacy Site I saw this:

According to the site, "In celebration of the 6th anniversary of the Spoonfuls of Stories® program, Cheerios® will be distributing 100,000 children’s books by John Lithgow to programs serving children in need across the country.

YOU can help decide where the books will be donated by answering trivia questions below from now through Sunday, June 15, 2008. Every correct answer counts as one vote, so the more questions you answer correctly, the more votes you cast. Cheerios will donate 20,000 children’s books to programs in each of the 5 states that receive the most votes. Cheerios’ nonprofit partner First Book will be identifying programs that will receive the books in each state where the books will be donated."

I spent a few happy minutes answering questions this morning, and dividing my correct answers between Kentucky (currently #4) and Indiana (currently #7).  Some of the books I could remember having read a long time ago, but most of them I haven't.  It didn't matter.  I could guess correctly for most of them.  Give it a try!  There's nothing to lose.

I'll give you a head start even -- the answer to the first question is "The Wallabies".

Please click the graphic above and play the trivia game every day this week.
