i think some are still reading. my kids are all big readers.
as for my list...i hope no one thought i was making a joke. instilling the love of reading early into a child pretty much guarantees a life long love. kids who read have a better vocabulary, reading actually grows brain cells.
i doubt i'd have the book collection i have now, were it not for books on my list.
i could have listed war and peace, eugene onegin, to kill a mockingbird, the pickwick papers, huck finn, etc...but i'd have never bought and read those were it not for experiencing the joy of reading harolds adventures with his crayon. i still like to watch modern marvels, and i love to see how machines are built, how they work-thank to mike mulligan for that. green eggs and ham-perfect example of not knocking something til you tried it. justin morgan--success can come from the humblest beginnings....and what lesson is better learned than 'i think i can'?
