Each child got a personal copy of The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf, compliments of BOOKS!	“Matador”, Bill Gorman, read the book aloud with help from his friends “Bee” and the Discovery Center’s own “Blossom” the bull.
Each boy got a cool matador hat to wear…	and each girl got a flower!
Families read together.	Families shared the fun with each other.
Even the littlest listener enjoyed the story!	Everyone had a great time at “Read for the Record 2007”!
