when you hand a two year old a book with pictures and they drag their finger across the page trying to scan to the next picture?

Tons of clean jokes, A-rated, classic.

One that still makes me chuckle is the “spell mousetrap in three letters” one.















Answer: c-a-t.

We're Going On A Bear Hunt

and

I Want My Hat Back


Both riveting, nail-biting cliff-hangers.

my wife makes cards for our grandkids in book form. She worries that they won't like them. Their parents tell us they won't put them down and want to read them prior to bed time.

We all started with the Dr Suess and went on from there.

Just the other day at a Saturday market I saw a carry all that said, "Teach a kid to read and the next thing you know, they're asking questions".
