Harry Potter, Junie B. Jones, Narnia, Lemony Snicket, Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, Goosebumps, Magic Tree House, and the Boxcar Children: Popular book series that most kids get into. I never did. Ever since school required mandatory reading, I perceived books as hassles. School effectively turned me off of reading for pleasure. Going into middle school, where students have regular book reports and summer reading, I faced a challenge. To make it by I had to learn to live with books, as they played an integral part to my career as a student.

People today have lost interest in reading. Otis Kramer says in The Decline of Reading in the U.S. Damages Our Intellectual Life, “For the first time in modern history, less than half of the adult population now reads literature.” When children are not taught to enjoy reading they carry that through life which causes problems that are hard to fix later in life.

Parents can solve this, if they teach their children to enjoy reading early on.

Finding a good wholesome television show for my children has always been quite a difficult task. I would love to be able to just turn the television on and let them watch whatever they would like to watch, but not everything that comes on TV is kid friendly.

After evaluating many different children’s shows, I have decided that Mickey Mouse is by far the most qualified, because it is very entertaining, educational, and the kids are in love with Mickey and his friends.

Benjamin Franklin said it well, "If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed. " This quote holds true for the picture book as well as any other format of book. When one thinks of a picture book, it is a sweet moment of the wonderment of a child opening their eyes to reading. It is usually thought of as a safe, innocent world that children can get lost in. “As Perry Nodelman points out, picture books communicate information or tell stories through a series of many pictures combined with relatively slight texts or not texts at all” (Norton 158).

Little did we know, the reason I couldn’t read was because I had a lazy eye. My eyes instead of coming forward, they move outwards. After training my eyes with an literal eye patch, my eyes became stronger but the dame had been done. I didn’t like to read, and even the popular Harry Potter series didn’t inspire me to read. Luckily for me, my parents both English lovers, refused to give up on me. My Dad had a great idea to read graphic novels to me, like “Babymouse” and “Groo”. I loved these series, but mostly it was because my dad read it to me. He always had the funniest voices, and made the story alive for me. Eventually, I started reading “Babymouse” by myself, but my parents still wanted me to read more. Since, reading is such a great way to spend time, helps you in school, and

I sat in the airport boarding area hyperventilating. My father looked over at me from his seat, more annoyed than concerned. He knew that I didn't want to travel, yet he made it clear that I, being 14 years old, had no choice in the matter. We were going to visit my grandparents in Puerto Rico. They hadn't seen me in years and had been asking for a visit for some time. I was told it would be a time to reconnect with my dad's side of the family, enjoy the country air and the beaches.

You see, my father hadn't found the right way to tell them that their ex-daughter in law had succumbed to cancer after a two year battle

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s a comic shop retailer trying to gain consumers’ business! During an era when the world economy is still recovering from the mortgage crisis and minimum wage is not sufficient to help most citizens support and maintain their respective households, it can be hard to justify frivolous, unnecessary spending. However, those who can afford to self-indulge a bit may choose to take up a hobby such as comic book reading or collecting. Even people who decide that they are willing and able to spend a few extra dollars here and there to pursue something they love must be able to choose wisely so as to avoid suffering from buyer’s remorse. It is essential that readers use criteria such as price point, publishers, characters, genre, and creators to sift through the wide variety of comic books in order to determine which ones they feel are truly worth their hard-earned cash.
