I’m over the moon that so many of
you are eager and excited to start the Little Literati challenge with your kids
this summer. I’m excited about the memories you’ll make and stories you’ll
share.

| Me, actually being an adult with an infant at the doctor's office holding my business cards. This is so very adult that I should be able to vote twice during each election. |
It came to my quick and mostly
focused attention that somewhat less-Little Literati might enjoy the challenge,
too. So, I’ve written an adult version for the Bigger Literati among you.
Here is your mission.
Find and read ten books that fit
the descriptions below, and keep track of your progress. When you complete the
challenge, email your name, mailing address, and list of ten books to thelittleliterati@gmail.com.
All who meet the challenge will
receive a snail-mailed Little Literati envelope from the Prices with Little
Literati tokens of affection. The drawing for the grand prize will be held only
for the kids.
Submissions must be received no
later than Friday, August 1, 2014. Only one submission per person.
Happy reading!
