KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — A Kennewick couple is giving books out for Halloween instead of candy. When they tried the literary approach last year, the little goblins, super heroes and princesses all seemed happy to receive a different kind of treat at Ann Reeves’ house.
Reeves told The Herald she was inspired last year to try the book giveaway for Halloween after reading a comic strip in the newspaper. A teenager in the strip Stone Soup was suggesting that her mother hand out books instead of candy.
This year, Reeves will have on hand books suitable for kindergarten through fourth graders. Most came from a recent library book sale.
