Browsing For Books, A Place to Read

Do you ever "curl up with a good book?" It is something almost everyone does from time to time. When you are tired, a book can be your very best friend.

Many people have special places where they go to read their books, or just to look at the pictures in them. Do you? Beds are wonderful places to read when it’s cold and you want to stay cozy and warm. The soft grass under a shady tree can be a fine place to stay cool with a good book. You can also keep a book in the car for the times when there’s nothing to look at out the window. Sometimes it’s nice to snuggle up to someone older who can read a book to you.

The most important thing is not where you read, but that you read something every day. Books can be your friends for life.
