In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March has been designated as Reading Month. To celebrate and encourage reading, we are asking local officials, residents and WKTV staff and volunteers to tell us about a book that they enjoy. Happy Reading!

Today’s reading selection comes from Rosalie Kaser, who has been the co-owner of Kilwins in Gaslight Village for the past five years and an East Grand Rapids resident since 2000. Founded in 1947 in Petoskey, Mich., Kilwins is known for its chocolates, fudge, and ice cream. Today there are more than 140 Kilwins franchises in 25 states. To learn more, visit www.kilwins.com.

“The Phantom Tollbooth” is a wonderful play on words that make you laugh at the main character’s, Milo, adventures and makes you think about the words we use.
