During a time when criticism is the norm, I wish to play outside the box and offer my compliments.
I, though hesitant to admit, am in my mid-50s with a daughter in college and son in high school. My youth was spent more with my nose to the grind in sports than my nose in books. This changed with the juvenile readings I and my children enjoyed. “The Berenstein Bears,” “Dr. Suess,” and rhythmic reading such as “The Day The Babies Crawled Away” led to much more intellectual interest as they became independent and I was afforded time to pursue such leisure.
