Read or I'll Bite You!

It is often asked of me:  "Gosh, Erica, what WON'T you do to get kids to read?"

And the answer is (now more obviously than ever):  NOTHING!

Here's the evidence:

Will you wear funny hats?

Yes.

Will you attempt to train an orange juice jug to fetch?

Yes again.

And now, the question that for many authors is a dealbreaker:  will you allow yourself to be consumed by wolves, or - if you live in a city and wolves are not readily available - attacked by a small rodent in the name of reaching more readers?

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

P.S. In addition to these videos, posted by Mr. Schu and Shannon Miller, me, and Kidsmomo, there's a fabulous author interview up by the lovely Ms. Audrey Vernick (a talented author herself, of the hilarious Buffalo picture books and the new middle grade novel Water Balloon) who has also been known to wear funny hats in the name of promoting literacy. 

One can't help but wonder how she feels about guinea pigs...
