Children’s Books
September 6th, 2011 by Aubri
“Books are as much a part of the furnishing of a house as tables and chairs, and in the making of a home they belong, not with the luxuries but with the necessities. A bookless house is not a home; for a home affords food and shelter for the mind as well as for the body.
It is as great an offense against a child to starve his mind as to starve his body, and there is as much danger of reducing his vitality and putting him at a disadvantage in his lifework in the one as in the other form of deprivation.”
From CHILDHOOD’S FAVORITES AND FAIRY STORIES by Hamilton Wright Mabie
