On average, children in middle-income neighborhoods have approximately 13 books per individual child. In contrast, for low-income children, there is estimated to be 1 book for every 300 children.

Send a Dr. Seuss virtual card for the Cat in the Hat's 50th birthday, and Random House donates a book to children.

It's possible. I just find the number really unbelievable at least in developed countries, and it seems to have been contradicted by First Book, which has good reasons to not overestimate the number of books low-income kids have.
