Remember the comfort and joy of being read to when you were a child? What a meaningful way to share ideas and strengthen family ties.
I hear that some parents and caregivers have chosen The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to read aloud together. In 1900, L. Frank Baum wrote the story “to please a child” and the classic story continues to fulfill his intention.
Pick up a copy of the original edition reprint and enjoy it with your family. The young people will anticipate each new adventure as Dorothy makes her journey and the young- at- heart will refresh their appreciation for a story that has endured for over 100 years.
In March, we will celebrate WestportREADS 2008 with a wide range of events and activities for all ages. Watch for people wearing the WestportREADS 2008 button and start a conversation about The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
