The school now has a small room where they keep supplies and a library of about 200 children's books. Last time I was here I saw how much the children loved reading books. I had picked up a Spanish copy of Curious George at the Houston Airport. I was surprised by how much they got into reading. The punchlines of Curious George and Amelia Bedelia land quickly with the kids here. I acquired some more books while I was here and left them at the school.
Today, I was standing outside the school's "library" during recess. A girl in another class asked me if she could come inside and pick out a book. I said, "of course," and watched her look through the selection. She came out with 2 books, one of them a well-used copy of "Curious George." I asked to look inside the book and recognized my inscription to "los ninos de la escuela."
Are the majority of the books paperback? Do they have many hardback or library bound books?
