[aisle] Holiday reading idea

[Joanne Zienty]

What a lovely idea!

How about just picking one grade level (or perhaps two)?

 I did something similar with my 3rd grade book this year when we were
reading books in the mystery genre. I wrapped the books in brown paper
before I distributed them and that set up the "mystery" experience.
