Funny how things skip a generation. My grandson loves books beyond anything else -- I gave him a bookcase and 6 books for Christmas. He helped me assemble the bookcase and put it up, then he filled it with all the books he owns, and was happy that there was space left for more. He was then so pleased with the way it looked that he tidied his room so it would look good with the new bookcase and books!

He is 6. His parents have no interest in books whatsoever -- so I think he gets his love of books from me.
