Read to children ? a FUN suggestion

We know that kids love to have "reading aloud" time with them. How about letting your child or children read to you? Perhaps you can even let your child read to his or her pet or even a doll or stuffed animal. How about incorporating fun activities that focus on the above into your weekend plans? What a great way to make reading fun! And while you're at it, be sure to jump on-line for a quick minute to share the Danny the Dragon East Coast book tour video that I'm sure your kids will enjoy: http://bit.ly/O0TsZ

Author Tina Turbin donates her delightful storybook towards children's book restoration efforts.

Victoria, Australia book supplies were devastated by the wildfires of February 2009. As a result, a massive, international effort was undertaken to re-build the children's book collections in the local schools and libraries, and a very worthy effort it has proven to be. We are proud to announce that the children in the area will have the opportunity to get to know Danny and his traveling companion Skipper in the first book in the series: Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy. Author Tina Turbin hopes that the book sparks the imaginations of the local children in the same way that it has done here in the States.
