On the Wisdom of Fathers
Prescott Publishing would like to take this opportunity to wish dads everywhere a happy Father’s Day.
My own father was a huge fan of Mark Twain in general — he reread Tom Sawyer at least once a year for as long as I can remember — and of this quote in particular. We hope you’ll like it, too.

Reading Cover to Cover
This practice makes perfect sense to some readers (myself included), while others are appalled at the idea of starting a book anywhere but the beginning. What sort of reader are you? When you begin a new book, what part do you read first? The book jacket? The introduction? The conclusion? Or do you just flip to some random page in the middle?

More Library Love
Just thinking about all the precious friends I’ve met within the pages of the books I’ve read makes me want to go back and visit them again… and to introduce them to my children.
Some of my dearest friends from childhood were Laura Ingalls Wilder, Fern Arable, Josephine March, and Karana (as introduced to me by Scott O’Dell in THE ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS). Who were yours? Wouldn’t Library Lovers’ Month be a great time to get reacquainted?
