Ask for THE STORY CHANNEL®
at your favorite hotel!
This is our exclusive hotel program! With THE STORY CHANNEL hotel guests are able to turn on a channel on their guest room television and
listen to one of the adorable Brown Bag Bedtime Books stories. Kids can get
tucked into bed, turn on the TV and shut their eyes to drift off to sleep
listening to a beautiful bedtime story. What a great treat for
vacationing children... and parents! You'll even be able to bring home
your favorite story. Just call the concierge and see how to purchase a
book at the hotel. Or just visit the order page on our web site when
you get home!
Attention Schools!
Here is a fun idea for a
fundraiser at your school. Sell the Brownbag Bedtime Book series and
keep 50% of the sale! You must order a minimum of 100 books to
participate.
Thank you to Ms. Horton's
first grade at
Windermere Elementary!
I had a great time reading
"Gwendolyn The Ghost" and love the drawings you made!

Watch here for information about
the importance of reading to your kids...
We'll let you know about any interesting
articles and/or web sites we find that demonstrate the importance of reading
to children. The best site we've found is Jim Trelease's
Trelease-On-Reading. A widely recognized author and lecturer about the
importance of reading for children, Jim's "The Read Aloud Handbook" is a
must for parents, teachers, librarians and all those interested in helping
our young ones to read.

Here is a poem by award-winning children's
author Richard Peck which was reprinted in the Orlando Sentinel. It is
titled "Twenty Minutes A Day."
Read to your children
Twenty minutes a day;
You have the time,
And so do they.
Read while the laundry is in
the machine;
Read while the dinner cooks;
Tuck a child in the crook of your arm
And reach for the library
books.
Hide the remote,
Let the computer games
cool,
For one day your children
will be off to school.
'Remedial?' 'Gifted?' You
have the choice;
Let them hear their first tales
In the sound of your voice.
Read in the morning;
Read over noon;
Read by the light of
Goodnight, Moon.
Turn the pages together,
Sitting close as you'll fit,
Till a small voice beside you says,
'Hey, don't quit.'
