    PORTLAND, OR, March 02, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- www.MrsP.com, the popular, award-winning children's website, will participate in the National Education Association's Read Across America campaign today by releasing videos of the winners of its 2010 writing contest for kids, and with an in-person appearance by website host Mrs. P (TV star Kathy Kinney) at one of the winners' schools.

The two grand prize-winning stories of Mrs. P's Be-A-Famous-Writer contest will be released on iTunes and can be downloaded for free. Mountain Dog, written by Briana Beebe, 8, from Colorado, and Lucky the Bamboo Chopper, by Bill Wang, 12, of Oregon, are bundled together with a total running time of 16:30.

She will also present Wang with a bound and illustrated copy of his story.
