I didn’t think of this until later… but I should have worn a tiara while filming! Too late now. Imagine me with a tiara on my head as you watch the video.
Stay tuned for bloopers at the end! Join my brother, Drew, and I as we investigate why some people hate to read. What can you do to get a child or teen reading more books? Tips and tricks on manipulating, tricking, bribing, and threatening people into reading books!!

This is a book trailer made with illustrations from the 1930 edition of Mother Carey’s Chickens by Kate Douglas Wiggin, published by Riverside Press/ Houghton Mifflin Co.
The illustrations are so beautiful, they really enhance my enjoyment of the book!
I found this idea on Pinterest to make a Christmas Tree out of books! I had to take it down and put it back up about 3 times, but i finally got it looking a bit like a tree. You have to have an engineering degree to get this right! Look for the falling book at 1:30. It was exhausting hauling all the books around, but sooooooo much fun!!!
If you try it out, please link your video or photo below in the comments. I would love to see if your tree turns out better than mine! Merry Christmas!
