Glasbergen Cartoons by Randy Glasbergen for August 05, 2024

Start investing In “short” ones.

From Wikipedia:

“Jean de La Fontaine collected fables from a wide variety of sources, both Western and Eastern, and adapted them into French free verse. They were issued under the general title of ‘Fables’ in several volumes from 1668 to 1694 and are considered classics of French literature. Humorous, nuanced and ironical, they were originally aimed at adults but then entered the educational system and were required learning for school children

“Divided into 12 books, there are 239 of the Fables, varying in length from a few lines to some hundred …”

(These fables are short and succinct. But does any average child these days gain benefit from them?)

Must have been a Dr. Suess book!!!!

She’s probably Old enough to Read them to her father.

In that situation, I found that I could read every other page and get away with it.

I remember my daughter looking up at me right in the middle of the book: “Dad! Wake up!!!”

You could read a little of it, Dad, and continue it the following night. I did that with some of the longer tales I read to my kids as they got older.
