Name: Ox McGlox

Occupation: Professional Floor Polisher and Hide & Seek Enthusiast

Why I like to Read-

When I first moved into my castle, I slid all around exploring it room by room.  Just as I was getting tuckered out I slid into an amazing room whose walls were lined with books from floor to ceiling. I pulled one down and I was hooked!!  Now I make sure to slide into my library every day.  Would you care to join me? 

Name: Les Vankress

Occupation: Dreamer Extraordinaire

Why I like to Read-

One of my earliest memories of my waglhood is laying on my bed surrounded by stacks and stacks of books.  I was slaying dragons, scaling mountains and flying through  outer space all without getting out of bed. As I grew up my love of adventure has never waned.  My favorite book do have a few less pictures now but the adventures are still amazing.

Name: Tam VanKam

Occupation: Cheerleader / Expert Motivator

Why I like to Read-

Let me tell you a secret.  Sometimes I need sometime away from the cheer squad.  When I need some ‘me’ time my favorite way to recharge myself is to jump into a great book.  From Ivanhoe to The Secret Garden (two of my favorites)reading is sure to recharge you!!  Can you find a favorite story for your get away time?

Name: Dex VanFlex

Occupation: Strong Man / Car Lifter

Why I like to Read-

Many Waglz think that because I am strong and live to excercise that I do not appreciate a good book.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  My brain is a muscle and so is yours and it needs to be excercised just as much as your bi-ceps.  Reading strengthens the brain like push-ups strengthen the body!!  How strong is your brain muscle?

Name: Super E

Occupation: Librarian and Avid Reader

Why I like to Read-

The library is a quiet place but it is full of a mystery and excitement.  When I first began to read I was content with little words like up and in.  But I wanted more and so I began to dream of bigger things.  A world where glob becomes globe and cap is transformed into cape.  Simple stories became more exciting and I became…Super E – super hero and high flyer.

Name: Ave McRave

Occupation: Amateur Surfer / Wipe-out King

Why I like to Read-

To be totally honest with you , Dude, I did not dig reading when I was a little surfer dude.  I had a lot more kicks riding the waves.  But one day my surfing buddy tosses me this book called “127 and a half Totally Rad Jokes” and I was totally hooked!!  Who knew reading was so ‘totally cool’?

Name: Joe Van Gloe

Occupation: Painter / Artist / All Around Creative Genius

Why I like to Read-

When I was just a little Wagl I used my fingers to paint instead of a brush. Just as my painting started out very simply so did my reading with little words like ‘it’ and ‘if’.  Both my painting and my reading have come a long way and both are a very important part of my life!!  Want to learn to paint a picture with words?
