Reading has indeed caused a stir in the lives of millions of children all over the country as they recently participated in breaking a world record. In a release posted by Alabama.com, youngsters across the U.S. gathered in groups to, altogether, read a book. This is in an attempt to establish the world record for the most-read book at one setting. This is a perfect campaign to get kids back into reading children's books, especially at a time when so many distractions such as video games, the internet, and many others are becoming more accessible. In line with this, a fascinating must-read titled "Odd Sock's Adventures" is presented by author Alma Aspin, who wishes to promote reading in a fun and colorful way.
