People On Reddit Are Sharing The Book That Turned Them Into "Readers" From kids classics to popular fiction, this list is noteworthy!

Always an honor to see #Animorphs pop up in articles like this. As a former reluctant reader myself, it truly means a lot. (For me, the answer would be CHARLOTTE'S WEB.) ❤️

'Spring Messengers'. Painting depicting the coming of spring as a classical bridal couple accompanied by birds flying across a green landscape.

'The year stood at its equinox
And bluff the North was blowing,
A bleat of lambs came from the flocks,
Green hardy things were growing'

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Love unboxing--they're always so exciting! Congratulations!

Remembering Molly Brett, whose mother was a respected painter of animals. Molly began by illustrating weekly papers for children and went on to write and illustrate 21 books of her own. Her work is known for its detail, soft colors, and magical feel. #childrensbooks #kidlitart

Remembering Errol Le Cain, whose childhood was spent in Singapore, India, and London--all represented in his art. His ethereal style was well suited to fairy tales. He won the Greenaway Medal in 1984 and was commended for it four times. #childrensbooks #kidlitart

Remembering Howard Pyle, American Illustrator and author who was admired by Vincent VanGogh ("His work struck me dumb with admiration." Pyle is sometimes referred to as the Father of American Illustration. #childrensbooks #kidlitart

His "The Wheel on the Bus" won a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award and "Journey from Peppermint Street" won the inaugural National Book Award, category Children's Books. #kidlit

Remembering Meindert Dejong, Professor, grave-digger, mason, tinsmith, and Dutch-born American author of #childrensbooks. He won Newbery Honors FOUR times and in 1955, the medal itself. #kidlit

Aargh! I missed it! Yesterday was #StarSpangledBannerDay, also known as #NationalAnthemDay. It's the day in 1931 when then president, Herbert Hoover signed the law officially adopting "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the U.S. national anthem. A little tricky to sing, but that's OK.

Regarding Sen. Tom Tillis and Kristi Noem: the dog she shot was likely not untrainable. You don't shoot dogs for that. SHE didn't train it properly, then was embarrassed. She killed a pet goat, too. Hmmm...very much into killing as a solution. See Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and others. #Noem

Off and on again. Does this administration know what it's doing? Talk about jumping to do whatever #Trump wants. #TrumpIsUnfit

If Trump had not torn up the Iran nuclear deal, inspectors would still be there to tell us what Iran was doing, eliminating the need for wars based on various suspicions... clearly, Trump wanted this #war — the facts, the casualties, the law, and the public be damned. ~Jennifer Rubin, paraphrased
