Reading Roadtrip unleashes problem-solving monsters, lots of laughs

In the book Craig read, "The Big Read Rock," each monster was trying to figure out a solution to a major stumbling block...or rock.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — It was just a peaceful, unassuming day at St. Edwards Catholic School in downtown Little Rock. They were deeply involved in what they’ve been doing since 1885, and that would be learning.

But in the basement of the school, just after lunch, the Pre-K and kindergartners began shrieking and howling and rolling in laughter as monsters invaded their imaginations.

To be clear, there was only one monster, THV11's Craig O’Neill. But, he took the form of several monsters. In the book he read, The Big Read Rock, each monster was trying to figure out a solution to a major stumbling block...or rock.

At this point in our report, we’d like to tell you that the kids were treated to a valuable lesson of cooperation and collaboration. But no, sorry to report that the number one byproduct of today’s reading was laughter. 

But, the encouraging thing here, is that it was a book, a story that produced all the fun.

If that’s the big takeaway, then mission accomplished.
