The special-edition box is part of the 5th anniversary celebration of the Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories program. We invite you to join in the fun by taking part in the Cheerios Book Donation Challenge! This challenge encourages you and your child to have some fun answering questions about your favorite children’s books while helping to place new books into the hands of children in need.

Now through June 16th, take the trivia challenge online.

The top 5 vote-getting states will each receive 20,000 new books for local children, totaling 100,000 books for children nationwide!

Check back often, as new questions will be added to the site each week! And, keep a close eye here on the blog, as we’ll be featuring sample questions from the trivia challenge throughout the coming weeks. So, go ahead and take the challenge and spread the word! Check online to see where your favorite state is in the ranking.
