The Jerry Begly Bloggathon 2010 is moving right along. Thanks for joining me. I’m celebrating National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com with a post every two hours, through the 16th of May! What is really fun about this week, is that I get to celebrate, by offering you an opportunity to read my children’s book entitled “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” www.jerrybegly.com/tooth. As I sit here posting this, my son, Caleb is reformatting the 3rd Edition of the book which will be sent to the printers today. It freaks me out that we can edit and format the book, up here high in the Rockies completely off the grid, send it through the airwaves, and get it printed in the Good Old USA within a few weeks.

Making Memories with Books

Here’s a dumb story I heard today:  A kid asked his dad if the dad could teach him how to fish.  So the dad went out and bought the boy a fishing video game. I hope you, the reader, aren’t that kind of parent.  Your kids will be grown and out of the house before you know it. As a co-worker once told me about raising children: “The days go too slow, and the years go too fast.”  Put down some memories that your children and grandchildren can reach back into when you’re gone. Reading to a child is one of the easiest and most memorable ways to do that. You can celebrate National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com by going to the library and getting some fun or interesting stuff to read. Or you can order my book “Dad the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” at www.jerrybegly.com/tooth. 

Read a Book to Your Kid

You can have some way cool time with your kids by reading to them.  Pretty much every child at one time or another will come up to their parent with a book and say “Will you read this to me?”  My new children’s book “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” was designed to be FUN to read for both the child and the adult.  The brilliant colors, rendered in Photoshop, delight the children.  The subplots, and jokes aimed squarely at the adults will make you laugh out loud. The icing on the cake is that the text is slightly larger than that found in most children’s books, making it possible to read this book to your grandkids without using your reading glasses in many cases. Now put down that newspaper and find some books that you can read to your child in celebration of National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com .
