Need to catch up on your celebrating? Check out these great kids in costume as their favorite book characters for World Book Day, read the winning haiku (Did you know the word "haiku" is both singular and plural? #TheMoreYouKnow!) from the American Copy Editors Society's contest for National Grammar Day, and Pam Allyn (LitWorld founder and Scholastic ambassador) posted a great op-ed on the Huffington Post for World Read Aloud Day.
