Dear Readers.
As a reader myself, I hoped to raise readers of my own. All three of my children enjoy reading. I am very proud of that. But something happened a few weeks ago that just warmed my heart. My oldest told me that my two youngest granddaughters decided to have a book club.
You have to know they are 5 (almost 6) and 7. So mom thought it would be just a silly thing they would do. When Nicky asked them what they would do, they replied, (as if mom was kind of silly) "we will read a book and then discuss it with each other." Well of course what else would you do in a book club?
Again my daughter thought "this can't be that big a deal" and asked the question, "What are you going to discuss about the book?" Their reply was again very matter of fact, “We are going to discuss characters, the setting and the problem/solution." Of course again, what else would you talk about?
Now I would love to be a fly on the wall or even join in the discussion of the heavy books they are reading, but I don't think my daughter has even caught them doing it. They don't seem to have a set schedule of when they will be meeting, but if you are interested in a schedule I can ask. I am not sure which book is on their list next but so far they have done the literary classics - Everyone Hide from Wibbly Pig and Barbie in a Mermaid Tale.
Happy Reading
