Many thanks for sharing this really interesting idea. We hope that as kids become better readers by reading more, they will discover that reading is its own reward.

Does anyone truly believe that things will get better if half of our children can't read? Check out the Prairie State scores from the state of Illinois. For the past...

A stylish little girl…and a Twitter giveaway!

By Michael on May 2nd, 2012

I’d like to introduce you to Zoe. She’s adventuresome, stylish and, frankly, ADORABLE! I fell in love with her the moment I read Zoe Gets Ready. It’s the story of how Zoe plans to spend her Saturday and the clothes required to make it an adventure.

Zoe’s illustrations are so darling, they had to be featured in our Broadway storefront window. The whimsy of the book’s art says “Spring” and I knew including her closet full of adventures would be just fabulous!

And what better place to get fabulous clothing than in SoHo?

So we asked our new neighbors at Stella McCartney Kids to help make Zoe the best dressed little girl on the block!

Happily, they agreed, and our window not only features some of our favorite picture books but also outfits directly from the Stella McCartney Store just a block away. The colorful prints and easy style were perfect for Zoe and frankly, just about any little girl! (I am especially fond of the raincoat…it’s just darling!)

We hope you all can visit us to see Zoe in our window (and, of course, our friends at Stella McCartney at 112 Greene St.). For those of you who can’t, check out the end result below!

The fun doesn’t stop there! We have an exciting contest running on Twitter through 5/8/12 so you can win not only a copy of Zoe Gets Ready but also the other books in her closet AND a selection of clothes from Stella McCartney Kids!

Here’s what you have to do to enter:

Follow both @scholasticstore and @stellamccartney on Twitter.
Tweet us using #zoegetsready anytime now through 12 pm EST on 5/8/12.

Each use of #zoegetsready during the contest period will count as an entry; the full official rules can be found here. The giveaway is open to legal U.S. residents above age 18 only.

Good luck, and as Zoe would say…Have a TWIRLING day!
