If parents like to read then they'll encourage their children. IJ sees me reading lots, I couldn't manage without a book on the go, it's pure escapism.

We couldn't afford for them to be made in our new house so all our books were put into cardboard boxes and stored int he loft. I was gutted. It was 2 years before we were able to afford our shelves!! And the first day they were made I stayed up until midnight arranging them all. It was brilliant. Sometimes I just stand and look at all my book and it makes me happy! Both my girls love books too, and yes, it is so so important to pass that love on.

I think you can do nothing better than encourage your children to fall in love with reading and appreciate the magic of stories. I have just re-read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Max and he, and I, completely loved it. I hope he will read it over and over again when he's able to read himself. :-)Hot Cross Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052268534992433595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836424089643954116.post-91448290170495892642009-10-21T15:17:43.704+01:002009-10-21T15:17:43.704+01:00Speaking as someone who's just had to buy YET ...Speaking as someone who's just had to buy YET MORE shelves to stop the floor (on three levels in this house) becoming awash with books, I feel I ought to put the opposite view here.
