Donate books to kids

[asterroc]

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.

I find the number a bit unbelievable too, but that's statistics for you.

To play devil's advocate, though, most families do have more than one kid, which would push the numbers down a bit. (Although there certainly aren't 100 kids per family!)

LOVE the icon! If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, what's two caiques in your hands worth?

Priceless! ::grin::

Also: Kiwi!

Man, those things would make great plush toys.

Heh. You've got waaaay too much free time on your hands if you're answering me four times in a row. :) Gabe's a really silly 'tiel that acts like a cat at times - she'll do something absolutely ridiculous like not know how to climb down a ladder so she tries to go beak-first, or underneath it, and then fall off really awkwardly, and then sit and preen herself as if nothing happened and she's all dignified.

Aw man, and now I want caique-pants! (pronounced "cack-pants" b/c it sounds better than "cai-ique-pants")

I love the pants! They look to me like they're wearing little suits with green tailcoats, white shirts, and little yellow or orange pants. And Daedalus looks like she's wearing a Zorro mask. :)

Also, I have such cockatiel envy. I think they are among the cutest creatures in the world. Those tiny crests! The orange Pikachu cheeks! Their funny little beaks! They melt me. :)
