Want some extra incentive to keep your kids reading all summer long? This year Pottery Barn Kids has teamed up with PBS Kids to partner together for their reading challenge. The challenge, which runs through July 17, is designed to inspire a love of learning and literacy for kids and their families throughout the summer months. (located in Littleton, CO)
Pottery Barn Kids is inviting children to ‘take the challenge’ by reading 8 books from a specially selected list of 20 children’s books. Each book was chosen based on favorites identified by Pottery Barn Kids customers, and features characters that excite the imagination in kids of all ages. The book list is available at Pottery Barn Kids stores in the US and Canada (excluding Quebec). Children that complete the book list and bring it to a Pottery Barn Kids location by July 31 will receive a free book and certificate of completion.
