About This Quote

It is adorable how much children love reading. I think reading books for children is a wonderful thing to do. Reading gives them a chance to escape from their daily lives and enjoy a different world. So, if you have a chance to give a child a book as a gift, don’t hesitate. It will not only be appreciated but will also be a great start for that child’s life.
