What book got YOU hooked?

Kentucky wins "What book got YOU hooked?" Campaign! In 2007, First Book, a non-profit organization which provides new books to children in need, celebrated the distribution of its 50 millionth book by asking a simple question: "What book got YOU hooked?" Visitors to the website http://www2.firstbook.org/whatbook/ were invited to recall the first books that sparked their love of reading and then vote for their state to receive 50,000 brand new books. Oklahoma won the first award and this year Kentucky has won!
