My grandfather read us kids Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book in the evenings in the 1950s. I checked it out at the school library and renewed it for the whole school year until we moved away just so I'd have it near and read it myself.

Whoa friend ,i visited our library after decades , what a fascinating time it was. What a wonderful suggestion to let children be lost in this exciting world of books.

What a beautiful piece about the joy and magic of reading - and the way that we can foster that in children. Thank you for the reminder to give children the time and space to get lost in those worlds that they discover in books! My little one is far too young to actually 'read' books, but we enjoy them together everyday; my hope is that he, too, will enjoy the 'magical worlds' on his own as much as I do.
