Pick up a book!

This past Tuesday was Read Across America Day, but here at A Child's Garden, we're taking the opportunity to celebrate and promote reading for more than just one day.
Read Across America Day coincides with the birthday of the beloved children's author, and local hero, Dr. Seuss. In his honor we have set up a display of some our favorite Dr. Seuss books right in the middle of the store. Nothing promotes reading better than when we enjoy the books we read to our children, and Dr. Seuss helps us along in that regard.


In further support of Read Across America Day, A Child's Garden owner Kate Glynn recently visited the Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton. The students at the Clarke School can read lips and the second grade class that Kate visited thoroughly enjoyed her reading two chapters from The Phantom Tollbooth. The Phantom Tollbooth is one of Kate's favorite books and she feels that not only is it a fabulous adventure story that kids will love, but it also a beautiful allegory about why we learn. This witty story is always a hit with both children and adults.


So swing on by and peruse our book section, who knows what old treasure or soon to be new favorite you'll find.
