But if you look closely at what's in them, you realize that old children's books are more than just lovely things to touch. They reflect society at different points in times. Books from the 19th century, for example, didn't really have any pictures in them. They look the same as adult books - thick and gray with text. Today, it's a totally different story.
Books are colorful and vibrant.
They entertain while they teach. My kids were greatly affected by reading. I would read to them all day long, and some books were worth reading 100 times. Dr. Seuss, for example, would leave us in stitches. We would laugh and laugh no matter how many times we read the same story.
