![]() ![]() ![]() I had to consume any Garfield book I could get my hands on. Thanks to my parents giving me a few dollars that morning, I picked up a copy of that book, and thus began an obsession. It didn’t even register at the time, but I was reading. That’s that funny cartoon on TV about a sarcastic cat. My grumpy 8-year-old self forced to go down to the library during the school day to check out the book fair.Īw man, more books? Maybe they have posters or something to look at. What made the Scholastic Book Fair so essential to non-readers such as myself? Just picture it. Slow motion, wind through the hair, dreamy lighting, accompanied by a rockin’ 80’s ballad. This is the point in the story when the Scholastic Book Fair strolled through the door. How in the world are kids supposed to explore books on their own, if the only experience they have with books is through boring ol’ text on a page?! For some kids, reading came easy. which is a terrible way to start off life as a reader. Why would I want to read this book when I can draw. Something that got in the way of me doing what I wanted to do with my time. Especially back in school, reading always just seemed like a chore. ![]()
