In Kanawha County, both far and near,
Readers came spreading great book-loving cheer!
With pages that turned and stories that flowed,
Excitement for reading continued to grow!
In classrooms and hallways, the laughter was bright,
As teachers and leaders read tales with delight.
From stories of fish—red, blue, and two—
To magical places where Thing One runs through!
The Cat in the Hat tipped his hat with great pride,
As students imagined and traveled inside—
To jungles, to spaceships, to castles so tall,
With books in their hands, they could go to them all!
So hip-hip hooray, for a world wide and new,
That starts with a story, just waiting for you!
With Read Across America, we all take the lead,
Because learning is magic when you love to read!
