#1. “Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.” 
― Judy Blume

#2. “The Lorax,” is recognized as Dr. Seuss’ take on environmentalism and how humans are destroying nature. Loggers were so upset about the book that some groups within the industry sponsored “Truax,” a similar book  but from the logging point of view. This book was published in 1995.

#3. “A book, being a physical object, engenders a certain respect that zipping electrons cannot. Because you cannot turn a book off, because you have to hold it in your hands, because a book sits there, waiting for you, whether you think you want it or not, because of all these things, a book is a friend. It’s not just the content, but the physical being of a book that is there for you always and unconditionally.”



― Mo Willems

 #4. In America, we buy 57 books per second. It would take a shelf 78 miles long to hold all of one day's books. 

 #5. This boy is one of the classic rule-breakers of all time. He despises the tale-telling, pointlessly obedient Sidney, he terrorizes his loving aunt, disrupts his school and church, and scandalizes the town by befriending a complete social outcast. Yet his chronic disobedience helps him solve a murder and save an innocent man's life. Who is he?






#6. “A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.” 

― C.S. Lewis



#7 “Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” 

― Shel Silverstein





#8 “What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.” 
― Scott Westerfeld, Uglies



#9 The Library of Congress, Washington DC, USA contains 28 million books and has 532 miles of shelving.

If you were driving at a constant 70 mph in a car it would take you just under 8 hours to pass them all.

"I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers, to become comfortable with a book, not daunted.  Books shouldn't be daunting, they should be funny, exciting and wonderful; and learning to be a reader gives a terrific advantage."
-Roald Dahl
