On Monday, February 6, the Kids’ Lit Quiz team travelled to Ryerson University to compete against 88 other teams. After training for four months, by reading a wide variety of books and practicing literary trivia questions, the team had a challenging and exciting day. Categories of questions ranged from “Doors”–Who spoke the words ‘Open Sesame’? (Ali Baba) to “Plants”–What was the name of a girl born inside a plant who was so small that a walnut shell was her cradle? (Thumbelina). The Kids’ Lit Quiz competition is an international literature competition for 10-13 year olds. For more information, please visit kidslitquiz.ca
