Bibliography 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENT This year marks the twelth anniversary of the Louisiana Summer Reading Program. In these years, it has developed into one of the country's best Summer Reading Programs. The Program has been a success from its beginning: the number of children participating and the number of libraries participating has increased significantly since 1984. It won the prestigious John Cotton Dana award in 1984 and again in 1988. The quality of the artwork and the incentives remains outstanding. The 1995 Summer Reading Program Committee has worked hard and contributed much of their time and skill to planning this year's manual. Their vision and creativity is appreciated by everyone. Thanks to this year's committee for making it possible to say once again, "Every year the Summer Reading Program gets better." Dorothy J.
