Ladies,
Have You Heard? ...
8y Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist
Be sine to add books to yom list ot jjifts foi the childien A
child’s lust tour.al education can begin with books because as he
investigates books he opens up on ways to learn about himself,
otheis, and the woild
Many books oi today aie also fascinating
They aie made with pop-up pictuies, and little
pull tabs, to fit, in with the stoiy as you lead
along Theie are some also made with mag
netic animals to move along from page to
page as the stoiy piogiesses Foi instance, a
rabbit can be placed in a field of canots, in
the lion’s mouth 01 jump out a window Of
course, the paiticular aiea of the page is also
magnetized to hold the bunny
Books offer him the challenge of dis
coveiy This is one leason why books that
glow with the child aie a good investment
Some books ha\ e touch and feel
elements that will appeal to an
eighteen-month-old child He
can handle the book, have it
lead to him, and enjoy it By
the time he’s thiee, he has
heard the story so much that
he’ll listen to you lead it, but
jump ahead and tell you a few
parts And at five, he begins
leading ceitain woids and tell
ing the stoiy to anyone who’ll
listen
Anothei thing about books is
that stoiy time may give a child
a feeling of love and secuuty
The story can answei some of
his questions about how things
woik and what people do on
If you want honest
security for your
money plus attractive
earnings, plus ready
‘ availability, plus
friendly people with
which to do business,
then let's get bet
ter acquainted.

it with family members and
guests before the Christmas Eve
suppei symbolizes a wish of
“Peace on Eaith. Good Will to

The wassail bowl symbolizes
the English custom of drinking
a wish for health and happiness
of the guests In Scandinavian
countries, even the birds are le

Christmas Eve supper is
typical of Italy and several
other Euiopean countnes It’s
