He would rather have a book!

hi toni. my daughter prefers books over toys as well. sure, she would occasionally ask me to accompany her to toy kingdom or toy r us to look for a new accessory or dress for her barbie dolls but more often, she would ask me to go to a nearby bookstore so that she can browse the books and see if she wants to buy a couple. i'm all for this since books are far more valuable than toys in my opinion. just to stress how much my daughter favors books over toys, we'd spend at the most thirty minutes looking for her barbie accessories but we would spend at the least two hours in her favorite bookstore browsing and looking through books. mighty proud about this trait of my daughter and i'm glad that she got the same passion for books and reading from me.

Hi ! Reading is one of the best hobbies and if it is inculcated in childhood it brings rich dividends. It is heartening to hear that your son was interesting and purchasing a reading a book. You must encourage him and bring him as much book of his choice, as he wants.

It's good to see that there are some kids that will choose books over toys. As a kid, I too did prefer books over toys, as a general rule of thumb. Honestly, if my kids were to ask me for a book rather than a toy, I wouldn't really hesitate getting it for them, whenever possible. It's good that he ask for a book himself. It's really nice to see some kids do it themselves, especially considering that it seems that a lot of kids are losing interesting in reading books.

Good. U are encouraging your son to read books. At the same time please see that he participates in team game activities so that he will get team spirit. How old is he?

awww my partners nephew reads that book, he loves it. we also have the tv show over here, do you? and theres a 3D film coming out soon of it as well :)

Oh, that is really nice to know. Such a breath of fresh air to see a child preferring books over toys. Buying books is such a great investment, in my honest opinion. Bravo Toni!

It's great that your son is developing a love for reading early on. I was the kid who always had a book in hand. I would read dozens of books each month when I was a child. Unfortunately, I don't read as much now as I did back then; there is too much other stuff that needs to be done. However, I do still enjoy good books.

Some people indeed like reading and i think that would be a good habit.Reading could make people wise,isn't it? Hope your son could be more excellent and make you proud of him!

this is very nice. Indeed, it is better to buy books rather than toys. toys break easily and quickly while the books can stand life if stored well. very nice this discussion. Have a nice day!

Nice story, and good for you and your son in an era that is characterized by lack of reading. (y)

I fully agree with you view A child can learn and benefit greatly from being read to right from the day they are born.The benefit of reading aloud to your young child are simply endless.Reading helps to develop thinking and the imagination,it encourage children to make connections between the"heard" word and meaning "behind" word,it give them a positive foundation to pre-reading skills that aids the process of become independent readers in the future. In a word ,go and grab some books from your local book shop or get into the habit of taking your young child to the library to choose his own,this can go a long way to helping your child become a proficient and confident reader later on in life.
