For the first time in six years, the top dog name last year was not Max; it was Bella. (But Max was the top name for cats!)
t KidsPost, we always love to hear from readers, but every sum- mer we are especially thrilled as e-mails pour in with the names of kids signing up for our annual Summer Book Club.
This year more than 600 kids joined in to read our selection of books from blockbuster authors — which, of course, makes this year’s book club a blockbuster of its own. We hope these great reads will give kids good reason to keep their KidsPost bookmarks handy through the school year for reading other great books, too. As promised, here are the names of our book club members this year. Thanks for reading!
