Quote: Books Before Five

From Books Before Five by Dorothy White:

Spent an hour at the children's library sorting out some books for Carol. Up till now I have relied on books she has been given; she would be quite willing at this stage to go on reading Mother Goose every night, but this palls for the parent. Even perfect love won't cast out boredom, whatever other devils it may exorcise. An important point this: parents must be considered, for if the reading becomes a chore one is too much tempted to give it up.
