Celebrate National Read Across America Day with Books & Snacks!

There’s something magical about getting lost in a good book—especially as a child. Books ignite the imagination, spark curiosity, and open up new worlds of adventure. That’s why National Read Across America Day is such an important celebration!

Held every year on March 2nd, this day was created to encourage kids to develop a love for reading. Inspired by Dr. Seuss’s birthday, Read Across America has evolved beyond rhyming stories and whimsical characters—it’s a nationwide movement to make reading fun, engaging, and accessible for all kids.

At Skout Organic, we believe that a good book deserves a great snack, so we’re sharing a few of our team’s childhood favorites—paired with our delicious, organic kids’ snacks!


How to Make Reading Exciting for Kids

Want to raise a little bookworm? Here are a few simple ways to get kids excited about reading:

📖 Make it interactive – Act out stories, use fun voices, or let your child turn the pages.
📚 Follow their interests – Whether it’s animals, adventure, or outer space, find books that match what they love.
🍎 Pair books with snacks – A cozy reading session is even better with a delicious, healthy treat!
🎭 Create a reading nook – A comfy corner with pillows, blankets, and a stack of books makes reading feel extra special.
🔁 Reread favorites – Kids love repetition! If they ask for the same book over and over, embrace it.


Skout’s Favorite Childhood Books & Snack Pairings

📖 "Harold and the Purple Crayon" + Raspberry Rush Kids Snack Bar

Stu, our Chief Marketing Officer, loved reading Harold and the Purple Crayon to his kids. This imaginative story follows Harold as he creates his own world with a single purple crayon—proof that creativity has no limits! Just like Harold’s adventurous spirit, our Raspberry Rush Kids Snack Bar is bold, fun, and full of fruity flavor.

📖 "Little Excavator" + Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Josh, our Senior Design Director, has a little one who’s fascinated by big machines. Little Excavator is the perfect story about a small but mighty digger who finds his place on a construction site. And what better snack to pair with this hardworking tale than our Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies—a classic with just the right mix of chewy and crunchy!

📖 "Blueberries for Sal" + Blueberry Blast Kids Snack Bar

Claire, our Social Media Manager, grew up loving Blueberries for Sal, the sweet and timeless story of a little girl and a bear cub on a berry-picking adventure. Naturally, Claire’s snack pairing is our Blueberry Blast Kids Snack Bar, packed with real, organic blueberries for a taste that’s just as delightful as the story.

📖 "Where the Wild Things Are" + Peanut Banana Chocolate Chip Kids Snack Bar

Mark, our Chief Snacking Officer, picked a true classic—Where the Wild Things Are. This legendary tale of adventure, mischief, and imagination reminds us that sometimes the best journeys happen in our minds. If the Wild Things had a favorite snack, Mark is pretty sure they’d be munching on our Peanut Banana Chocolate Chip Kids Snack Bar—wildly delicious and full of adventure-worthy energy!

📖 "Curious George" + Chocolate Banana Kids Snack Bar

Lydia, our Customer Service Representative, adored Curious George as a child. The lovable little monkey was always getting into mischief, but his curiosity made him impossible not to love. And since George was always up for a snack, Lydia thinks he would have reached for our Chocolate Banana Kids Snack Bar—a tasty combo of chocolatey goodness and real bananas.
