What Teachers are Saying about HIP Books

Most days we spend the first 20 minutes reading. Last week something strange happened. Two of my boys asked if they could read longer! Then last Wednesday, one of my Grade Tens threw his arms up in the air and yelled, "That was freakin' awesome!" ... And then he said, "Actually Ms. G, if you've got more books like that I'll read every one of them!" I wanted to let you know that your books have given my kids something that most people take for granted - the knowledge that they are capable of reading and that reading can be something enjoyable.
