is more treasure in books than in all the
pirates loot on Treasure Island"
---------Walt Disney

The more you learn the more places you'll go.

to them will encourage them to become readers.

It
is fun for both children and adults, as many books
have hidden surprises and puzzles.

helps them become lifelong learners.
The information & illustrations are entertaining as well as
educational,
giving children a love of learning.
5. This is one way of passing on your values.
6. Reading
encourages your child's imagination to soar.
7. School
& learning will be more satisfying for them, building their
self-esteem.
Success in life will be easier for them to attain.
8. For
that short time, they will stay clean and quiet.
9. Every
teacher they encounter will appreciate it.
10. Your child will thank you!
----Nancy Ann & Tom Wartman, Usborne Books at Home----
