The Best Gift

I was going through last week's newspapers and I found this short article in the December 16th edition of Parade. I think it nicely fits into our conversations about our love of reading and how to pass it on.

The Best Gift To My Son

There's a nice list of Patterson's "Favorites for Every Child" at the end.

Ah, Doc Jen, that's a great link. And all these years, there is something about giving or receiving a new book every Christmas.

A perfect end-of-the-year message. My sister-in-law is teaching kindergarten, and she commented that she can tell that some kids have been read to, while others have not. It's very sad to think that some kids don't even know which is the front of a book!

It was wonderful to be in Iowa this past week with a houseful of kids who love books, and who all love being read to. If an adult would start reading to one kid, the others would all start congregating around.
