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.
