Summer reading for kids? Make them laugh!

“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.” – Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol.”

Summer is a sun-splashed, joyful time of year for girls and boys. Set free from the daily routine of the academic year, youngsters are more than ready to set aside regimented hours and seemingly endless assignments.

By the time the last assigned book of “serious reading” has been resoundingly smacked shut, some children have grown weary of reading. No need for parents to stress in such circumstances. A healthy dose of humorous reading is sure to rekindle a youngster’s love of literature.
