What Readers Can Do

Did you know you can do the most marvelous stuff?
You can go around the world and if that’s not enough,
You can travel in time - to the future, to the past,
Be a king, be a queen, be a pirate, Avast!
You can swim with the fishes beneath the blue sea,
And soar the wide sky where the eagles fly free.
All you need is a book - well, maybe a few.
And the magic will happen. It’s what readers can do!

The Library

It looks like any building
     When you pass it on the street,
Made of stone and glass and marble,
     Made of iron and concrete.

But once inside you can ride
     A camel or a train,
Visit Rome, Siam, or Nome,
     Feel a hurricane,
Meet a king, learn to sing,
     How to bake a pie,
Go to sea, plant a tree,
     Find how airplanes fly,
Train a horse, and of course
     Have all the dogs you’d like,
See the moon, a sandy dune,
     Or catch a whopping pike.
Everything that books can bring
     You’ll find inside these walls.
A world is there for you to share
     When adventure calls.

You cannot tell its magic
     By the way the building looks,
But there’s wonderment within it,
     The wonderment of books.

The Library

Miss Shaw works at the library. She knows all about books. She knows all about children, too. Miss Shaw has worked at the library a long time. She often tells the children that soon she will have her pension and will rest ‘with their permission.’ Even though they do not understand all Miss Shaw says, the children all love her.

Miss Shaw also knows just what books boys and girls like to read. One day Sharon and Josh came into the library.

“Hello, Miss Shaw,” they said. “We want to read just for fun.”

“Now then,” Miss Shaw said, “Do you want to read about fish, the ocean, machines, ships, nations, some dishes, some slush, the shore, a window shade, some sugar, a shirt, some squash, hash, a good wish - oh, my! I can even find you a book about a girl named Tish.”

“Thank you,” said Sharon. “I think I would like a book about fish.” Miss Shaw went to the bookshelf and gave Sharon a book. The name of the book was “Patricia, The Shiny Fish.”

“Now then, Josh,” said Miss Shaw, “What kind of book would you like?” “I would like a book about a ship.”

Sharon and Josh went home and when they had finished their books, they took them back to the library. “Well,” said Miss Shaw. “Did you finish your books and what were they all about?”

“I finished my book,” said Sharon. “It was fun to read. It was about a shiny fish and her name was Patricia. And it was about other fish, and the ocean, and how Patricia swished when she swam, and how salt comes from the ocean to be put in salt shakers for humans.”

“My book,” said Josh, “was about a ship named Bashful, and pirates and ocean blue and their mission was to collect all the sea shells and let the nations see how beautiful they were.”

“Good,” said Miss Shaw. “I hope you will come back soon.”

Both Sharon and Josh promised they would.
