Good Reasons to Read Quotes!
"A good children's book is a young person's earliest exposure to art and design, a conduit for parental bonding, a means to teach individual and social lessons..."
Not only does this ring true, but think about how early you need to expose children to books. Is 3 months too young? No. Is before birth too soon?? Never. When you build those bonds before entry into life, I believe the baby will recall the tone in your voice. I believe the 18 month old will mimic the manner in which you held his favorite book. Your 4 year old little boy will ask a thousand times over for his favorite "night-night" story.

This is Leonard Marcus, one of the finest scholars in the field and the person behind this exhibit as well. Think, now, about how we might use picture books with older readers to talk about the milieu of the books from various decades (the Newbery originated in the 20s and the Caldecott in the 30s). Think about comparing and contrasting books from different decades, say DRUMMER HOFF to PATROL or SMOKY NIGHT to THE MAN WHO WALKED BETWEEN THE TOWERS.

Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him. --John Locke
Easy reading is damn hard writing. --Nathaniel Hawthorne
