This girl warms the cockle-burrs of my heart!!




Ya gotta love a kid who takes to a gift so enthusiastically. Several years ago, when she was much younger, I sent her this book, apparently a classic children's book on Greek mythology (according to Amazon.com) At the time, I thought it was perhaps too advanced for her. The vocabulary might be too difficult or the stories too unsettling for her. But she LOVED it. She's read it multiple times and entered a phase of reading mythology and fairy tales.

Albert Einstein said "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be VERY intelligent, read them more fairly tales.
