Target Celebrates "Read Across America." PLUS Cool Giveaways!

You guys know how important I think it is to instill a love of reading to our kids. I've spoken about it so many times on this place and space. Need a reminder? Head here, here, and here.

{Last year's "Read Across America" event}

You can also head on over to this post where Aiden and I covered the National Education Association's (NEA's) "Read Across America" event at the New York Public Library. The event was filled celebrities (including the fine piece of male specimen, Common) reading Dr. Seuss classics to the kids, and Aiden and I had a great time! Check out some pics from last year, including the fine piece of male specimen, Common. Yum!

"Read Across America" is a Target sponsored event that clearly illustrates how the mega brand is doing their duty of instilling a love of reading among children. In fact, Target is right on track to giving $1 billion for education by the end of 2015. Boy, if I didn't have a reason to love the store before...

I'm always excited to discuss the importance of reading even more. Which is exactly why I'm happy to be partnering with Target again to let you know that this Saturday, February 25th from 9am -- 11am, all Target stores nationwide will be hosting a FREE in-store reading to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday! Hold your applauds. It gets better. During the celebration, there will be reading nooks throughout Target that'll be inspired by Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax" and readings by Target team members. No applauds yet. There's more. Every child who attend the in-store reading event will receive a reusable Target bag filled with Dr. Seuss' reading activities, a bookmark, crayons, and snacks. Okay... now you can applaud.

Want to applaud even more?

GIVEAWAY!
Five (5) Mommy Delicious readers will win 5 Dr. Seuss classics in a reusable bag. Woohoo! Want to be one of the five winners? Of course you do!

Here's how to enter:
