Encouraging kids to read, Not!

Well, moonliner, you know how librarians are. They don't want to do real work.

I suspect that the parents who are complaining don't want their children to feel stupid if they are reading Henry and Mudge if other kids are reading War and Peace. E

I was one of those kids who was reading "real" books while the rest of the class skated on something as easy as possible. And I still finished first!

Let 'em read whatever they will! At least they're reading something.

I agree with the comment that the parents of the kids reading the baby books don't want to see it. They want to pretend their kid is doing as well as everybody else, though they're not.

Well Scaeagles, it was nice to know you. Sorry about your early demise (once you know who reads that....).
