I remember us getting Weekly Reader newspaper in the summer. I was an only child but had many cousins. We'd play outside all day long under an old oak tree making villages, roads, mud pies, etc. And I would read, read. Mom always made sure I had something to read. Others in the family had a collection of Nancy Drew, Bobsey Twins, and Cherri Ames books. I read them all! Now my 9 month old grandson goes for books before toys! I'm a retired school librarian so that does my soul good!
