Young Readers

Our seven-year-old grandson has become excited about reading. We’ve read to him for years, but now he is reading his favorite books to me. He’s currently reading Dogman books that have humorous names of classic books such as Fetch 22, Brawl of the Wild and Mothering Heights. These are kids’ graphic novels with lots of humor. Not only is he reading, but he is reading with expression appropriate for what the characters are saying. I can identify. I was a reluctant reader as a boy. One day I was messing around in the school library, and the librarian asked what I was interested in. I replied, “Baseball.” She led me to a section with baseball stories, and I got hooked on reading.
