Help find the cure

Rick Walton's Special Deal for Wasatch Front Schools*

Put a book in the hand of each of your kids! Kids love it, and they get excited about books and reading...

"We had good teacher support for giving each kid a signed book, but it turned out to be even better than we had hoped.  It was the frosting on the cake.  There was lots of sharing in the halls and lunchroom--everyone wanted all their friends to know which book they had received.  All week I heard, "I took my book home, and we read it after dinner," and "I took my book home and read it to my little brother.  He thought it was so funny."  Honestly, their faces lit up as we handed them those books.   I would do it again every time."-- Linda K. Clark, Media Specialist-Taylor Elementary

"It was so fun to return to the classroom and pass out the books and then look around to find every student engrossed in reading. The air was full of excitement...every child had their own Rick Walton book!!"-- Marsha Bryan, 5th Grade Teacher- Taylor Elementary

Rick has a supply of deeply discounted books. If you buy one copy from this list for each of the students in your school, (minimum 400 books purchase), Rick will come to your school for free, do an assembly for the studentbody, and spend the rest of the day signing books and answering kids' questions. (See sample schedule below.) If you'd like me to spend the day doing workshops, and bring the books pre-signed, I'd be happy to do so at one-half my full-day fee.

Supplies are limited.
