Court House - When I was a child I read the Encyclopedia Brown books, then Nancy Drew and on to Agatha Christie. I grew up and became a federal agent, solving mysteries of my own. Reading is the best gift you can give your child. It can take them to far or imaginary lands and possibly give them a direction for a career. Take them to the library or buy them books at a thrift store. I think the library book sale is coming up. Even if you aren't a reader, don't short your kids. Reading provides a lifetime of enjoyment.
