A good book

Who doesn’t love settling down with a good book?  Visit any LNS studio and you will see carefully curated shelves enticing the children sit and look, wonder, imagine and learn.  
After lunch is over we invite the children to sit down with a book as we begin the transition to rest time.  The children may read alone, with a friend or in a small group, but always when one of us sits down to read to the whole group several hands thrust their chosen book towards us, hoping that will be one of the books we read.  
When we are done reading the children settle down for some quiet time or perhaps a nap, very often taking a book to their mat to read.
