Parents aren’t the only ones reading to kids.  Take a look at #mapoli Reading To Class.  It’s a Tumblr site featuring photographs of politicians reading to children across the commonwealth. Curated by David S. Bernstein, the site features state Senator Marc Pacheco reading “The Lorax” to fifth graders at the Henry B. Burkland School in Middleborough. Attorney General Martha Coakley read “The Sneetches” to students at Malden’s Cheverus School. And there’s State Senator Jim Timilty at the Cottage Street School in Sharon reading “Interrupting Chicken” to second graders.

Massachusetts readers, is an elected official coming to read to children in your program or school? Email a photo to David Bernstein at dbernstein@phx.com , and he’ll post it on the site.
