We're reaching around 10 degrees tonight in St. Louis. I am very concerned about the generation of children coming up who have not been read to because their parents do not read. Most of the people in my circles live their lives around their TV schedules. In our house it's a big deal when you get your own library card. We have a line item in our budget each month just for books. Most of my friends don't understand my search for a Half Price Bookstore in the north and they haven't ever looked at amazon.com used. I'm proud of the fact that my children cry if they are not read to each and every single night. My 16 month old will chase me through the house with a book and is relentless until read to.<BR/>In our house we love Kevin Henkes' Lily's Purple Plastic Purse, Henry and Mudge, and Steven Kellogg's Jimmy and the Boa books.<BR/>I love Alexander McCall Smith's series of the Number One Ladies Detective Agency. I can always fall back on Maya Angelou's poetry, Harry Potter, Little House on the Prairie, and Shiloh.<BR/>I will not give up my reading for Survivor!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3324933741042375174.post-69231064879160935632008-01-03T17:25:00.000-08:002008-01-03T17:25:00.000-08:00How did this person get through university? Audio ...How did this person get through university? Audio Cliff notes??? I LOVE books! I have two or three going at a time usually. I stand at Costco and put them in my basket, count, put a few back, throw a few back in, wonder why I have a library card, check out...<BR/><BR/>One of the first things we did for our grandchildren was buy books - LOTS of books - Kipper the Dog, Wibbley Pig, Richard Scarey, Priddy Board Books, Spot series - and they were red to from about 4 weeks old.<BR/><BR/>Books are friends who are always there. I love the Little House books to this day. Anne of Green Gables is a favorite. And English gothic romance as well as historical fiction are favs.<BR/><BR/>Long live the written word!Cheri (aka "The Mom Lady")https://www.blogger.com/profile/12447915936118039074noreply@blogger.com
