Reading with mom...

"Children are not things to be molded, but persons to be unfolded"

Author unknow

Isn't it great to sit on a comfortable nice chair and share a nice book with

 our kids? Telling stories is an open window to a whole new world... I love reading and I brought up my son telling him all sorts of stories. I'm glad to

 say he has become a books' lover as well!

Here are some poems about reading...

 Riddle

What's small, holds treasure
yet fits in the hand
needs no battery
doesn't chatter
click or clatter
opens with ease
nothing to measure
no locks, no keys?
What takes you to
jungles and castles and stars?
On day trips to Mars?
Brings you wizards
and witches, camels and cooks?
Guess.
Yes! Bring on the books!

Lillian Moore
 

Would You Like

Would you like stories that surprise you
and/or hypnotize you, a mystery, a history,
a volume to advise you
how to fix a motor,
build your own computer,
use a tape recorder,
get along with mother?
How about a voyage into outer space,
romance with an Alien of a future race?
Then dip in, dip in, grapple in with hooks,
dive in, delve in, get into books!

Lillian Morrison

Build Some Memories

I'm all tucked in and ready for sleep
Please read me a story and I won't make a peep.
Just one more page, just one more chapter
I want to know if there's a happy ever after.
A part of yourself you'll give to me
As you turn the pages of a fantasy.
We can be courageous, brave and bold
As we fly to the future or to days of old.
We may cry together, you and I
When we read of injustice and wonder why.
Or we may laugh together in the funny parts
Yes, books are a blending of our hearts.
I pray no matter how old I may be
that someone so dear will read to me.
And when I'm a parent with a child of my own
I'll read to them, a story or poem.
And my children shall treasure our nighttime tale
not only the story, but our closeness as well.
So now I'm tucked in and ready for sleep
and in my heart your love I'll keep.
