Reading Can Be Fun

Description

Reading Can Be Fun is a children's classic by Munro Leaf, the bestselling author of Manners Can Be Fun. From the desktops of Andy and Gil Leaf: One of the most important lessons our father taught us is the value of reading. The exhilaration of turning a page and having words leap out, begging to be uttered and embraced, is a profound experience that is permanently etched in the mind. This was his message to every child. A springboard for the imagination, a book can be educational and fun. It is a huge joy that the key to the amusing, creative, and engaging world of our father can once again be found on bookshelves. He would be tremendously pleased and satisfied to know that today, nearly seventy years and one century later, his words still have resonance-words that will be fondly remembered by generations past, and words that will be savored, chuckled over, and read countless times by a new generation of curious, inquisitive, and impressionable young eyes.

Munro Leaf, born in 1905, was the author and illustrator of dozens of children's books, most notably The Story of Ferdinand, which was first published in 1936. He died in 1976.
