Greetings, Somehow my original message contained an extra line. Here is the correct parody. If you give a child a book, he's going to want to read it. And as he reads, he's going to think about what he's reading. And as he thinks, he's going to recall what he already knows and similar experiences he's had. And as he thinks about those experiences, he's going to want to write. And as he writes, he's going to want to talk to his friends and share his thoughts and ideas with them And as he talks with others, he's going to want to learn and discover more. So, chances are he'll find another book to read, And then another, And another. And as he reads more books, he'll discover books that make him smile, laugh, cry, angry, curious, frustrated, contented, thoughtful, happy. And then, as time passes, He'll become a lifelong reader. by Pamela J. Farris This poem was inspired by Laura Joffe Numeroff's book, "If you give a mouse a cookie," illustrated by Felicia Bond (New York: Harper, 1985) from The Reading Teacher, vol 49, No. 5 (Febrary 1996), p. 384.
