As in years past, Borders has announced their summer reading program. The Double-Dog Dare Challenge kicks off officially Saturday, June 4. Kids under 12 years old are eligible and must read 10 books of their choice. Once they read the books and complete the entry form, they can turn it in for a coupon for a free book. Free book choices are as follows:
The Cat in the Hat: Cooking with the Cat by Bonnie Worth
Danny and the Dinosaur by Syd Hoff
B is for Books! by Annie Cobb
Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish

Forms must be completed and turned in to any Borders, Borders Express or Waldenbooks between 6/1 and 9/5. Quantities of books were limited last year, so get what you want quickly! My kids do the Borders summer reading challenge plus a couple of others every summer. It’s a great way to help them set goals and stay motivated to read throughout the whole summer.
