I never read that, and I feel slightly sad that I didn't. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 06/11/2009 03:30:43 PM
I don't really know as I would "encourage" them to read certain books, unless they actually asked me for recommendations. I'd much rather them develop their own tastes.

I think I'd encourage it by the giving of presents. They can decide whether or not they're going to read their presents, I suppose. :P

The Illustrated Book of Myths is another fantastic book that continues to help me to this day. I'll give them my copy. :D

Lovely. :D
