The deadline for the Martin' Big Words contest is Wednesday, January 26, 7:00 pm. 
Read the book, watch the movie, or watch Youth Services Librarian, Dina Stansbury,  reading the book on the MPL Kids Page.  Get the entry form there too.  Then write or draw about what Martin’s words (or some other “big words”  you think Martin would like) mean to you.  The contest is open  to students in Kindergarten through 6^th grade.  There is a  prize for everyone who enters and bigger prizes for winners in several age and other categories.
