is a sweet piece on the joys and rewards of reading aloud. She extols the past of personal contact, and a time before every great story became a movie. She decries the digital age and the ubiquitous nature of electronic media. Many know of this wonderful way to jump start learning and connect with your children. I was read to and I read to my children. So hear, hear for a wonderful idea.
Gurdon shared a sidebar full of her favorite picks. I don't want to quilbble with her choices. They are excellent, but I was surprised Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little weren't on the list. And for the picture book category I want to highlight one of my favorite childhood books and that was also
popular when I babysat as a teen, Herbert the Lion by Claire Turley Newberry.
