“A great nation is a reading nation.”
Frederic Melcher, 1879-1963
Former editor of Publishers Weekly
This week is Children’s Book Week. Sponsored by the Children’s Book Council, Children’s Book Week has been celebrated by libraries, bookstores, and schools since 1919. My love of reading today is the direct result of the wonderful books I read and treasured as a child. Babar, Mary Poppins and Little Women are just a few of my favorite classics. Now, there are also other great children’s books to be read. The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy by Jeanne Birdsall and the The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate Dicamillo are just two children’s books that can be enoyed by all kinds of readers.
Happy Reading!
