It's as easy as ABC, 123 (In All Things #8)

 One thing I tried do with the grand-girls each day they were with me for 6 weeks was read books--LOTS of books.   I told them reading books will give them knowledge and imagination will give them free adventures.  We explored the pages of Olivia The Pig, Fancy Nancy, among numerous others. 

 (One of our favorite reads was "The Day the Crayons Quit").  

It appears the 'reading seeds' were planted by Mimi as I received this text from them the other day:

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go" Dr. Seuss
