15. Why adults should read children’s books….
It’s fun
It keeps your imagination active
It strengthens your relationship with the children in your life who read.
It sets an example for the children in your life, making them more likely to become readers

16. Why adults should read childrens books…..
It’s fast. Children’s books are usually shorten than adult books, so if you don’t think you have time to read, you DO have time to read a children books.
It allows you to read across genres.
It’s like time travel- it’s an easy way to remember the child you once were, when you first read a book.

17. And the last two reasons why adults should read children’s books
It’s often inspirational-reading about heroes and bravery and loyalty makes you want to be a better person. And couldn’t we all do with some of that?
Did I mention that it’s fun?
