Whenever I’ve worn this Harry the Dirty Dog t-shirt, people (young and old) have gone out of their way to tell me how much they love the book, how they remember someone reading it to them, or how much fun it is to read the book to their kids or grandkids or students.
So when I unearthed the shirt recently, I thought: here’s something that would be good to wear now.
I put it on and went for a walk, and within 3 blocks of the house, a woman called out to me: “Is that Harry the Dirty Dog on your shirt?”
“Yes,” I called back.
“I love that book,” she said. “I read it, oh probably 10,737 times to my kids.”
“Yep,” I said.
“It never got old,” she said.
“Nope,” I said.
“It makes me happy just to think about it,” she said.
“I get it,” I said.
There you have it: the power of Harry the Dirty Dog--the power of reading aloud.
And can I just say?
Now is a really good time to read someone you love a story.

Heh heh - what a brilliant read. Now THIS is good writing! Trail blazers take it in the face because they can TAKE it! ("Depends absorbent underwear" ... now THAT's proactive wisdom) ha ha -- more please.

This newspaper’s slogan is “If you don’t want it printed, don’t let it happen.” My own version which I just adopted is, “If you don’t want your...

NATIONAL BOOK LOVERS DAY | AUGUST 9
National Book Lovers Day on August 9th harnesses all the excitement bibliophiles feel about books into one celebration.

*Step back in time*

• The very first books used parchment or vellum (calf-skin) for the book pages.

• The book covers were made of wood and often covered with leather.

• Clasps or straps kept the books closed.

• Public libraries appeared in the Middle Ages (now available at any age!)

• Public libraries often chained the books to a shelf or a desk to prevent theft. *Ever been so ABSOLUTELY MAD FOR a book, you checked it out 9 million times??*
