The city of Bridgeport, CT runs an annual program called Read Aloud Day; a committee chooses a different book for every elementary grade level and a fleet of volunteers fan out so that someone visits every public elementary classroom in the city on the same day to read to the class. And every class gets a copy of the chosen book.
In 2008, the book chosen for sixth grade was Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman.
I’m honored to report that the book chosen for sixth grade this year is Thirty Minutes Over Oregon: A Japanese Pilot’s World War II Story.
Thank you for the honor!
The letter I wrote that will be copied and inserted into every book:
Hello Bridgeport readers on Read Aloud Day 2019!
Don’t like war stories?
Don’t like nonfiction?
Don’t like history?
Don’t bet on it!
This story is a famous first you’ve never heard of. It will surprise you on nearly every page. And it’s ALL TRUE.
It starts on the deck of a submarine and ends deep in a forest. It involves a samurai sword, an unusual catapult, a secret mission, and a funny sandwich. (You’ll see…)
You will be thrilled, you will smile wide, you may get sad.
Ready for takeoff?
