Well, what was it all about? Here's what KittyCat wrote in her blog,
So my friends, what do you think? Would you be interested in joining this challenge? It's only one book a month and by the end of 2009, you'll be surprised that you can read 12 books!For 2009, I would like to call on ALL readers (*especially Malaysian students, Mums and Dads!!!) to join me in this reading challenge.
HOW TO JOIN?
1. Just make a list of 12 books you will read with your child in 2009. Join in anytime and don’t worry if you haven’t got your list yet!
2. Start off with 1-2 books you have at home…(textbooks NOT allowed!)
3. If you have a blog, add a comment here with a link to your blog.
4. If you don’t have a blog, add a comment here with your list of books. You’re welcome to check in regularly to keep each other on track!
And she also encouarged us with these reasons.
WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN
For your child…
1. You’ll spend some quality time with your child. And your child will treasure the memory of having you ALL to himself/herself for that time.
2. Your child will have read at least ONE book in a month = 12 books in a year.
3. It’s a great way to drag your child away from the PSP, Gameboy, Wii, TV or Internet!
4. Open your child’s mind with a new experience and (hopefully) a new hobby and love for lifelong learning…
For you…
You will have the satisfaction of knowing that you actually READ 12 books in a year!
Let’s work together to encourage reading among our children, shall we? I hope you’ll join me in this challenge. Let’s change the statistics from TWO to TWELVE!!!

Hi Kak Chik - Wow, you've got a good list started! Books No. 1 and 4 sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll post a review of them after you've read them just in case others may be interested :)
I think I should add a note on this to the challenge...
Well hi to you too KittyCat. Thanks. Actually I've already listed the books to read with my nieces and I just list them here for the challenge. Book no 1 has not arrive yet as I've bought it online and still waiting. So I'm starting with no. 2 first. My sister has read no.4 and she said that the story was good and has a similarity to an Iranian movie entitled Children of Heaven (I've already watched it & love it) so I'm thinking my nieces and I will be enjoying the book too.
ReplyDeleteOn the review part, mmm... I'm a bit rustic here and not as good as you. If I did make a review, I'll inform you.
Thanks for inviting me Niza. ..I'll compile the list soon and hope to publish it in my blog. Hemmm, where do I start now?
ReplyDeletep/s malu kan, now the whole world tau betapa malasnya anak2 Malaysia membaca!!!
Kak An - yes... but we can change that. Insya-Allah.
