When children learn early to walk the reading road, they enter the magic portal to time travel. Favorite book characters meet them all along their journey, from those who lived long ago around our world to those who exist in a science fiction of future faraway worlds.

Black Beauty galloped over this hill, and the white rabbit disappeared down a hole on the other side where Alice in Wonderland tumbled. Little Red Riding Hood picked flowers and skipped along this road to Grandmother’s house. The Cat in the Hat is grinning from one of the tree branches, and all Tasha Tudor’s little corgis from The Springs of Joy run along sniffing the grass. Asking someone’s favorite book is like asking someone’s favorite color or song. There are countless favorites – that’s the way it is with books and stories. They live forever, in traditional print books, in the words of those who tell them over and over to new generations of children, and now in digital e-book form.

Take the hand of a child soon, and begin the adventure which will foster the sparks of imagination. Walk the reading road and make discoveries together!
