WATCH: easyJet launches initiative to get children hooked on reading
Author Dame Jacqueline Wilson has helped easyJet launch a new initiative to encourage children to get into a good book by installing holiday reading libraries across its entire UK fleet this summer.
The launch at Gatwick Airport of the easyJet Book Club marked the start of a new initiative designed to promote literacy and encourage kids to read.
Dame Jacqueline has selected books for children to enjoy in-flight on easyJet's 'Flybraries' including; Peter Pan, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, The Railway Children and The Wizard of Oz.
