One of my favorite children's books is the classic Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White. I just finished reading it with my 3rd child, and I can never get tired of it! I have a lot of fun with Louis Sachar's books--fun for kids and adults alike :)Ilanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032284559058003121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-66954942791611937902012-11-11T14:38:25.368-05:002012-11-11T14:38:25.368-05:00Liz -I agree with your mother in law!

My mother-in-law said this to my niece when she asked why she likes to read, "Well, you know how some people like to jump in their cars and go away somewhere, and some people like to fly all over the world on holiday.....well, I can sit in my armchair, pick up my book, and I could be anywhere in the world straight away." So true. My niece now also loves to read.Rambling Prosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465813762893479775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-63304967664048758942012-11-09T13:40:03.029-05:002012-11-09T13:40:03.029-05:00Corey -it's a great book for kids and adults f...Corey -it's a great book for kids and adults from 9-99!
