Smart kids!
With a crowd of excited second graders surrounding him Friday morning, you'd think Lt. Gov. John Garamendi was passing out candy bars. Instead, he was letting the Franklin Elementary School students take turns reading the Dr. Seuss book "Wacky Wednesday." As part of the 10th annual Read Across America day, Garamendi stopped by the Burlingame school's library to read passages from books to a group of second-graders and talk to them about the importance of reading.When he brought out the famous children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, the kids all cheered with excitement. But he got a different reaction from the students when he showed them Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." "Are you ready for this big book?" he asked them. "No!" they screamed.
