You can learn so much from reading. I had rather read a book any day of the week than watch a movie. Your girls must really admire you for them be so interested. Sounds like you are a great Mom!

I'm trying to, but right now mine's at an age where she can't sit still long enough to be read to. Although, once in awhile it'll get really quiet in her bedroom and I'll go check on her, (convinced she's into something) and she'll be sitting there quietly looking at a book. I love that.<BR/>P.S. I loved Encyclopedia Brown and Nancy Drew too. Oh yeah, and anything by Judy Blume.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208741967443016000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716540.post-32156627616130971672008-07-09T17:12:00.000-05:002008-07-09T17:12:00.000-05:00Pam: I love anything by Maeve Binchy and I have Wa...Pam: I love anything by Maeve Binchy and I have Water for Elephants sitting here on my "to read" list.And thanks for the Power of Three recommendation; I haven't heard of it yet.<BR/><BR/>Queen--I KNEW that YOU would identify with this post, since you love reading so much!!!!<BR/><BR/>Frasypoo: I love to hear about what other people read as children.

How about "Water for Elephants"? I haven't found a favorite yet this summer. <BR/><BR/>As a kid, we didn't have library in our town. My cousin and I each got $1 allowance every two weeks. We would go to the Five and Dime in the nearby town and each buy two fifty cent books. That way, we had four books for two weeks. We read Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew and Cherry Ames. What fun.<BR/><BR/>Your post brought back so many memories.<BR/><BR/>~hippo hugs~hippo chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404395478018699210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716540.post-28392048703309812842008-07-09T07:41:00.000-05:002008-07-09T07:41:00.000-05:00Jacquie--I think that is such a great idea!
