I was an avid reader as a child, and I've never lost my fascination with books. My daughter is also a book lover. My grandson Jameson is following in our footsteps, and already has quite the collection of books.

If you have children, please encourage them to read. Reading stimulates the imagination in a way that television and computer games will never do. Give the kids in your life books this Christmas. You won't regret it...
