Popping Out of Pictures

Popping out of pictures, pulling swords from stone, Hunting with your coon dogs, shipwrecked all alone, Rafting down the river, whitewashing a fence, Balloons on Krakatoa, leagues under suspense, Milo and his watchdog, Charlie’s ticket’s gold, Meg and Charles go tessering, Lost Boys, never old, Wizards, dwarves, and hobbits, James’ giant fruit, Wilbur, Fern, and Charlotte, Belle’s enchanted brute, Heartbreak with a yearling, a big old yellow dog, Friends Mole and Rat and Toad, islands, treasure, grog, Gardens full of secrets, the clever family Swiss: Glorious great stories, just too good to miss. Books promote imagination, candy for the mind, Afternoons spent on the page leave the world behind. Reading with my grandkids, adventure tales galore, And when they finish all of these, I know of plenty more.
