Children's Book of the Week: 19

This week's book is another one we love to get from the library. It's all about the joys of reading, and it's called

The Best Place to Read
by Debbie Bertram & Susan Bloom

This book is about a little boy who is trying to find a good spot to read his book. He tries, Goldilocks-style, place after place. His teenage sister's room is too noisy, some chairs are too lumpy or filled with a big doggie, the ceiling fan near his father's chair is spinning too fast & making him cold, the kitchen table is sticky, the sprinklers turn on when he goes on the grass, and finally, in his exasperation, he comes to his mom and says,
"Mommy, oh, Mom!
May I sit on your lap? I love it so much when we share."
The best place to be, just my book, Mom and me--
At last . . . In a comfortable chair."

You can reserve it at your library or pick it up here!

That looks darling. It reminds me of my book loving boys and when I, so proudly, find them snuggled about with a book.
