Other brilliant minds put it in their own ways. Roald Dahl said: “I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers, to become comfortable with a book, not daunted. Books shouldn’t be daunting, they should be funny, exciting and wonderful; and learning to be a reader gives a terrific advantage.”
Anyone who has read Matilda or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or James and the Giant Peach surely will agree.
Katherine Patterson puts it quite another way.
She says, “It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations – something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.”
She surely did that in Bridge to Terabithia, her 1977 children’s novel about two children who create their own magical forest kingdom in their imaginations.
Anyone in search of children’s books won’t be disappointed at the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair on Saturday and Sunday, March 1-2, 2025 at The Coliseum in downtown St. Petersburg.
