Dear Reader,
Every Wednesday is KIDSBUZZ day at the book clubs. Check out the link right after my column today.
If you're a Grandma or Grandpa who lives far away from your grandchildren, book club reader Eileen has a great idea for you.
"Good morning Suzanne,
Your story about the tickle book reminded me of when my grandchildren were small. My son was stationed in England for three years and so, of course, I didn't see my grandchildren during that time. But I didn't want them to forget me and so every once in a while I would buy each of them (Danielle and Christopher) a story book, take it home and read it on tape. I would ask them to point out something in the book every so often so they could participate. Then I mailed the books and the tape to them. The first time I did that, my daughter-in-law said the next morning, the kids wanted to know if grandma could read them a story. It took her a few minutes to realize that they were asking her to put the tape in for them to listen to. Thanks for reminding me of pleasant things with my grandchildren. There are now four of them and the youngest is fourteen. No more Grandma reading stories to the grandchildren. Guess I'll have to save it for my great grandchildren."--Eileen
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
