I was checking out at Kohl's today and the little girl behind me was begging her mom for one of the books they have on display by the checkouts (Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you see?). The mom kept saying no. The girl must have asked about 5 times. Then the child picked up the polar bear stuffed animal and said "Can I have him?". The mom said yes. The girl asked "And the book?" Mom says "Maybe next time".
Maybe there's a back story I don't know, but the whole thing made me pretty sad. Books are friends!

I agree with you. Now I'm sad, but I understand why some of my students couldn't read.
