We, here at The Things You Can Read, ask your help, if you visit our site regularly, please follow us either via email or Google Friend Connect. Launched on June 7, 2012, our site has already attracted a great deal of attention. One of the goals of the site is to feature reviews of Children's Picture Books, Young Adult novels and Adult Literary Fiction/Nonfiction. A second goal for the blog is to be a resource for teachers of English and writing--with examples of student created writing, writing tips, resource links, and the opportunity to pick the brain of a seasoned English teacher. To spice things up...every now and then, we'll also include random quotes and thoughts on education and life in general, but our ultimate goal is to reach out into the blogosphere and be a "Book Whisperer" and "Writing Whisperer" to children and adults of all ages. Thank you for your readership. Here is to a lifetime filled with reading and writing.

Holiday Season in Full Swing: Book Lover Gift Giving Tip # One

As we all look for unique ways to share our love of books this holiday season we, here at The Things You Can Read, plan on sharing unusual gifts for book lovers to give children and adults of all ages. What made us think of this? Well, we took notice of a, new to us, book, which we ran across as we perused possible book choices to give our preschool aged children for Christmas. Take a peek at these three wonderful picture "pop-up" books, perfect for holiday gift giving, for young and old alike. Yes, there are adults out there that collect pop-up books and if you are one of them, Louise Rowe's paper cut outs are amazing. Checkout the illustrator's, website. Don't forget to let us know what you think of Brother's Grimm going pop-up!
