Meet Mason Hibbett, Honorable Mention - 2nd & 3rd Grades Category

Mason Hibbett received an Honorable Mention award in the 2nd & 3rd Grades Category of our 2012 Spark READiness Freedom to Read Essay Contest.  Mason has a diverse range of reading favorites.  

Below is his entry:

     My favorite book is the USA Today, Publisher's Weekly, Wall Street Journal, and the #1 New York Times Bestseller:  Diary of A Wimpy Kid - Cabin Fever.

     I like Cabin Fever because it is funny, and it has good illustrations and interesting characters.

     I think a good book should be funny, long and have some illustrations.

Mason is a third grader at Crockett Elementary School in Brentwood. Mason's favorite types of books are humorous fiction, historical fiction and comic books. He also is very active and loves playing lacrosse and soccer with his friends.

Judges commented that Mason's entry was "short, but the answers were direct" and that he "specifically said what makes a good book."   As an Honorable Mention winner, Mason received a certificate honoring his achievement.  

Congratulations!  Keep reading and writing, Mason!
