Drop Everything, It's D.E.A.R. Time!

Ann McGovern's "Drop Everything, It's D.E.A.R. Time!" introduces young readers to the concept of "Drop Everything and Read" time, a beloved school tradition. The book depicts an ordinary school day where students, teachers, and staff are all busy, until a special bell signals D.E.A.R. time. Suddenly, everyone pauses their activities to pick up a book and read. This charming story highlights the importance and joy of reading, showing how it can be a shared, calming, and enriching experience for an entire community. It's perfect for children aged 4-8, especially those starting school or needing encouragement to embrace reading.

It's an ordinary school day, and the students, teachers, principal, and staff are all busy, until D.E.A.R. time--Drop Everything and Read time--when all the people in the school stop what they are doing and pick up books
