When I was trying to decide what to name this blog, I kept coming back to the name, better with a book. I can think of so many things in life that are much more tolerable and relaxing with a book. For me, the beach, waiting rooms, long plane rides and cozy couches are always more enjoyable with a book. And of course, a lesson plan is always better with a special book introduction! But what do the kids think? I asked my two daughters, ages 3 and 5, and some other special people in my life. Here's what we all came up with:
Top Ten Things that are Better with a Book
1. Bedtime
2. Long car rides
3. Indoor recess
4. Special time spent with grandparents and other relatives
5. Rainy days
6. A cup of hot chocolate
7. A difficult time or situation
8. A school lesson
9. A sibling's sports event
10. Quiet time
I'm not sure where this blogging road will take me, or how I will organize my thoughts and ideas about children's books just yet. However, I do know that I would love for teachers and parents alike to utilize this site to uncover the magic of a book and make all events in life just a little bit BETTER!
