Kid’s stories just aren’t what they used to be. In looking over a selection from the local bookstore chain, we were disappointed to see nothing but cardboard fold over books. These books have no storyline and offer no lesson of any value. This is not to say that all children’s books must have a moral. But they should offer valid entertainment in the form of a smile or a soothing moment. The point of books for our children is to feed their minds and spirits with positive happy thought.
