Peas and Carrots

So here I am! So here we are. The 21st century. Where mice aren't rodents or pets, and mail is delivered 24 hours a day. Where you can be perfectly healthy while dealing with a virus and cookies may not be edible. Yes, few could argue, its a whole new world. However, not everything has changed. By all accounts it seems we will still have viruses with sneezes and chicken noodle soup, and we will still have cookies with milk. And, no matter how much our world changes it will still be filled with children. Children who are born with the capacity to develop a deep love of reading.

So whether you are expecting your first child, a seasoned parent or a doting grandparent, welcome. Whether you are a teacher , touching the lives of your students, or a parent hosting a children's book club, welcome. Welcome fellow bookworms. Welcome to my blog (so proud to use the new word). Bookworm Dirt, the place to come to get information, read reviews, learn interesting and fun facts, and get, well, the dirt on the world of kids' books.

Call me old fashioned, but I still believe in this fast paced, technologically driven world, nothing can take the place of the simplicity and magic of snuggling up with an innocent child and a wonderful book. Children and books. They go together like peas and carrots.
