May 4-10 is Children's Book Week!
"Children's Book week is the annual celebration of books for young people and the joy of reading." It is celebrating it's 96th anniversary this year. It is the longest running national literacy initiative in the United States, having been created in 1919. It is administered by the non-profit group Every Child is a Reader, which strives to instill a love of reading in all children.
Here is the official website for Children's Book Week with lots of information for teachers and children. There are events to attend, awards, and other fun features on this website. There are also some nice bibliographies to give you ideas for classroom use and student recommendations.
