Kids Lit
Books and More for Children and Teens

Yahoo! News tells us that Babar, elephant hero of children's books, turns 75 this year. The article is wonderful and ends with this:

"Children of an age to appreciate Babar, that's to say between two and seven years, haven't changed that much even if they sometimes like playing with computers," de Brunhoff said.

That's right! They may enjoy computers, but those kids can and will read books as long as the adults around them make it a priority. Just think of all the great books new and old to share with one another. Makes you want to run right out to your local library, doesn't it?
