Comic Con 2016 delivers and then some!
This week I had a chance to sit down with the filmmakers, producer and stars of the upcoming Dream Works Animation movie Trolls Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick at Comic Con in San Diego. And when I say sit-down, I mean at a round-table setting within feet of the one and only JT! Yes, I was in heaven. Be sure to check out my post in the coming weeks about this interview and I’ll share some funny stories with you all like when Justin broke out singing Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” for us mom bloggers (we all about died). I can say he was super down-to-earth as was Anna and…

Yes, go to your library and get books. Join some summer reading programs. And encourage children to read for at least 20 minutes a day on their own.
