Published by Half Price Books

 Each year, Half Price Books publishes its storybook, Say Good Night to Illiteracy, as a reminder to parents that time spent reading to their child will develop lasting reading habits that will help them become more successful, literate adults. In October 2006, the 12th edition was published which is comprised of 20 stories chosen from more than 2000 entries in Half Price Books' Storybook Writing Contest. Easy story is accompanied by a commissioned illustration. For the first time, this year's edition includes a CD of the stories being read aloud which allows children to develop reading skills by following along with the book. In addition, the CD contains original music for children that is fun and upbeat.
Half Price Books is one of the nation's largest new and used bookstore chains and a dedicated supporter of national literacy projects and environmental issues. "We publish Say Good Night to Illiteracy annually to remind parents that time spent reading to their children will develop lasting reading habits that will help them become successful, literate adults," said Kathy Doyle Thomas, Executive vice president of Half Price Books. Proceeds from this book will support Reach Out and Read (ROR), where growing up healthy means growing up with books.
