It's no secret that kids today are bombarded with distractions, gaming being one of the biggest. Often times that means that more ordinary pursuits like reading slip through the cracks. Luckily, there are people like Danica Davidson, an author whose goal is to promote literacy through Minecraft. We had a chance to talk with Danica and to get a sneak peek at one of her Minecrafters novels.

This is targeting parents who will spend any money on their child,especially if someone tells them it is a good idea and they buy into it.
I understand it is good business to have a marketing plan and a target audience but i still don't like the exploitable ideas just to make a buck off some parent through gaming.
In general,people like to read books or they do not,i doubt there is any middle ground.I like to read now but not books and not at a younger age.This whole last decade has seen a LOT of business ideas trying to cash in on gaming,it is at epidemic proportions,we need to SLOW DOWN on gaming and pushing cell phones on the kids.
IMO books create introverts ,i rather see kids out in sports or any type of physical activity that revolves around being around other people.Everyday i see the young kids playing either soccer or baseball at the park,parking lot is full because all the families get out to enjoy the atmosphere.Imo reading a book is like hiding yourself in a hole and removing the world,i don't and have never agreed with it.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
