CURIOUS GEORGE SCIENCE BOOKS AVAILABLE IN  SPANISH 
We have been presented with a unique  opportunity to bring Curious George (in 
Spanish) to the children and  families that we work with in our Celebra la 
Ciencia (_www.celebralaciencia.org_ (http://www.celebralaciencia.org) )  
outreach initiative, which has the goal of increasing the involvement of  Hispanic 
families in science. 
WGBH, producer of many PBS Kids shows, worked  with Universal Studios to 
produce 4-color, 10-page Family Activity Booklet  inspired by Curious George.  All 
of the activities in the booklet relate to  science, engineering and math 
concepts.   WGBH recently approached us  to ask for help with the distribution of 
10,000 booklets.  What that means  is, we need everyone's help!  
They would like these, costly, high quality  booklets, to be shared with 
children and families that attend specific science  programs/camps or afterschool 
activities run museums.  
There is a bit of a time crunch to get the booklets  mailed out.  They do not 
have to be distributed immediately but WGBH must  send them out before Dec. 
15th.  Rather than having them all sent to us,  here in Washington, DC we would 
like to find out who would be interested in  receiving copies of the 
booklets.  They are free of charge and are a great  resource for families!  To see the 
booklet (the hard copy is in color) go  to:

Please let me know by FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8th if you  would like copies and how 
many you think you would be able to distribute.   Please include your name, 
address, organization, how many copies you would like,  how you think you would 
distribute the copies, and your email/phone contact  info. 
Thank you in advance!
