Revelation.

I was walking in a Barnes and Noble today and I think my experience is worth of a journal entry. I had just walked past the children's literature section to go find my friend that I had come with. I stopped though to pick up a quick book to read and possible use for a journal entry later. I hadn't found one yet, as I was just casually looking. A small child came up to me and asked me to read him the cover of the picture book he was holding. I read it to him and then he told me that he wanted to buy it and that he had already read it three times. I realized that if children are given the options, literature can become not only an exciting part of their life, but a loving part. I realized most children aren't ever even given the opportunity to browse through a section of books, or look at the pictures. I feel like when you're teaching you have to realize that the literature that you expose to chidren in your classroom may be the only thing they read.
