The sweeter rewards of reading

Kids and their parents who drop off a new book into The Salvation Army barrels at Applebee's restaurants in Connecticut will receive a bookmark and an Applebee's Bookworm Club card featuring a free Oreo Cookie sundae coupon, redeemable on their next visit. Once kids age 10 and younger read and record 10 books on their Bookworm Club Card, they will also receive a free kid's meal.

The book drive runs through July and August. The goal is to collect more than one ton of books in upstate New York and Connecticut.
