Then, I got on the internet and I found exactly what I was looking for. I even found an article about these foods that apparently only made their appearance in the neighborhood where I lived. The article told how they disappeared shortly after I moved from that state. My descriptions didn't do them justice.
If you can't find a series of books, consider books written by the same author. Most times an author keeps the same writing style and that may help them to enjoy Reading Books. If this doesn't work consider a subject or type of book for them to try. When you're in this mode, it's important to go to the library to check these books out rather than purchasing them. If possible, stay at the library and encourage your child to read a chapter or two of the book before you leave.
As your child gets older you need to keep up with their reading skills. They will start to really devour books and this is where a series of books is a great help. They love reading stories with characters they know in different adventures or Must-read books scrapes. When they start to become bored with the series you know it is time to move on to a higher age range.
A fervent bookworm friend of mine was given an e-reader for his birthday. He was so intimidated by it that he didn't unwrap it for two weeks. Then he reluctantly toyed with it for another week, downloading a free book. Read a bit. Put it down. Read a couple of paper books - p-books. Picked it up again. Browsed awhile longer; finally switching it off with lingering uncertainty. And then...
I can publish an e-book any time I want, and for free! Knowing I have this immediate outlet with no one controlling my career has released my creativity and boosted my confidence. There is just you, my global public, and I. And I can print low priced p-books for traditionalists. Myself included.
Try to find only books you find interesting. Read only the best of books at first. You may find that looking for ones that have very high reviews and are entertaining are a much better choice. There is also a very good chance that these well liked books are probably going to be of interest to you. This will take the boredom out of reading that you might have experienced before making you not want to be a reader.
I would definitely go back to Libreria. I think it's best to go there on a Saturday and spend an afternoon reading books while sipping cups (yes cups!) of coffee.
