Getting lost in a book

is one of the great delights of childhood...
I bought two copies of The Borrowers by Mary Norton and gave one to my niece when I saw her over the holidays. This was one of my favourite childhood books and I wanted to share it with her. On January 1 we began our daily long distance reading sessions via telephone. We read to each other for a minimum of 20 minutes most days and if real homework gets in the way, we have extended sessions on the weekend to make up for any days during the week we had to miss. A wonderful way to spend more time together...it is now one of my most favourite simple pleasures!
