There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away.

TV. If kids are entertained by two letters, imagine the fun they’ll have with twenty-six. Open your child’s imagination. Open a book. –Author unknown

Books are like imprisoned souls till someone takes them down from a shelf and frees them. –Samuel Butler

When you sell a man a book, you don’t sell him 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue – you sell him a whole new life. –Christopher Morley
