In Love with Reading

Hello all!
Mama tells me her story about how she came
 TO LOVE READING.

She tells me that
READING
CAN BE
ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL!

When Mama was 5 1/2  she had to move to another school
halfway through kindergarten. 

Moving to another school is really hard anyway  but
because My Mama
was
VERY SHY,
(CAN YOU IMAGINE HER SHY)
it was
WAY MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

This is sad.
But her teacher had
WISDOM!!
WHOO HOO!!

Her teacher took her and all the other little kiddies
to the children's library
in downtown Fitchburg, Mass.

They walked and they walked
TWO BY TWO
down Academy Street,
passed the Y.M.C.A
down the sidewalk
until they crossed Main Street
to the
CHILDREN'S LIBRARY.

Guess what she discovered?

She walked into that library
WHERE THE CHAIRS
WERE JUST THE RIGHT SIZE
AND THE
TABLES
HELD WONDERFUL PICTURE BOOKS
THAT
OPENED UP
A WORLD OF READING
TO HER.

IT WAS MAGICAL!

The LITTLE TABLE
and the LITTLE CHAIR
and that
VERY FIRST PICTURE BOOK
was for her like
WALKING THROUGH A
MAGICAL FORREST
WHERE
EVERYONE IS KIND
AND
EVERYTHING,
AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
HAS A
"HAPPILY EVER AFTER"
ENDING.

IT WAS WONDERFUL MAMA SAYS.
AND SHE NEVER FORGOT IT.

So thank you Mama for sharing that story.

My next story will be
about Mama and Papa going into
all the different schools here in New Hampshire
where they got to 
READ
my
PICTURE BOOK
to all the little
pre-schoolers, kindergartners
and elementary school students.

WOW.
They said
it was
MAGICAL!

And so everybody,
CHECK OUT
YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY
TODAY!

FOR
LIBRARIES
HOLD
the
FORREST'S
OF
IMAGINATION
AND
THE
LIBRARIANS
ARE
THEIR
GARDNERS!
