Beverly Cleary’s birthday and D.E.A.R. are celebrated on the same day for good reason. Ramona Quimby enjoys D.E.A.R.in Cleary’s book, Ramona Quimby, Age 8. The day is meant to celebrate, remind and encourage families to make reading together a family priority on a daily basis. Reading for pleasure is a luxury we can all afford. You can D.E.A.R anywhere and anyplace. All you need is a book! Making D.E.A.R. a habit is a lifelong gift. As Charles C. Noble said. “First we make our habits, then our habits make us.” Here is a site which offers terrific book selections for children of all ages. http://dropeverythingandread.com/book.html
