The look on their faces was priceless. Especially the kid who was enamored by "The Talisman". LOL LOL I'm always "preaching" reading as my kids will attest to anytime. LOL
I realize that in modern times I am considered an "Old Fogey" and I suppose I am, but there is still nothing, in my mind that, compares to the smell, anticipation and ultimate satisfaction of opening a new book and reading it to it's completion. The very best "Film Director" in the world is in your individual mind.
