The Things You Can Read welcomes you and thanks you for your readership. 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.

Happy Birthday Roald Dahl

“Don't gobblefunk around with words.”— Roald Dahl From The BFG

Hey, did you know that September 13 is Roald Dahl Day ! Well, it is, and according to the Official Rald Dahl Day website:

The official Roald Dahl Day takes place every year on 13 September, on the birthday of the World's No. 1 Storyteller. In 2012 we are celebrating 30 years of the swizzfiggling Big Friendly Giant. The BFG is famous for catching, creating and making dreams come true. So this year we're inviting you to Dream BIG with the BFG.

Come join the celebration. Over at Roald Dahl party headquarters they've got plenty of party tips-and as their website says, you don't have to wait until September 13-every day can be Roald Dahl Day!

Happy Roald Dahl Day!
