O the Beauty of Blogging

National Children’s Book Week is ending on Sunday, the 16th, and I’ve been celebrating in my own way with Jerry Begly’s Blogathon 2010. I’m putting out one blog post every 2 hours until the end of the week. Whew! You readers are keeping me hopping. I’m looking out the window at an awsome crescent moon on the western horizon right now. What a beautiful way to work at night. Have you read even one book to your kid or grandkids this week? That’s a super way to celebrate this week, and your connection to the next generation. I still remember stories I heard from my grandfather, and the first time in my life that I ever read “The Little Engine That Could” was at Grandpa Begly’s house in Berlin.

Read a Book to Your Kid

You can have some way cool time with your kids by reading to them.  Pretty much every child at one time or another will come up to their parent with a book and say “Will you read this to me?”  My new children’s book “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” was designed to be FUN to read for both the child and the adult.  The brilliant colors, rendered in Photoshop, delight the children.  The subplots, and jokes aimed squarely at the adults will make you laugh out loud. The icing on the cake is that the text is slightly larger than that found in most children’s books, making it possible to read this book to your grandkids without using your reading glasses in many cases. Now put down that newspaper and find some books that you can read to your child in celebration of National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com
