Of course, I had correct this omission right away! The other day my kids and I were discussing the world’s most famous book collectors (Star Wars’ George Lucas has a home library of over 27,000 books!) when I suddenly realized that I hadn’t yet put together a list of picture books on books. Of course, once they started, they couldn’t stop. For years I’ve been trying to get them interested, and they said, “ it sounds so stupid!” But then, a character in the book they were reading (I think it was The Ghost City) happened to be reading Harry Potter, and my kids decided to read the first book to get an idea of what all the excitement was about. In fact, that’s what inspired my two older kids to read the Harry Potter books. It’s very exciting for them to read a book about someone reading a book. I’m happy to say that my kids are just like me. My bookshelves are full of titles like Confessions of a Book Addict, Leave Me Alone, I’m Reading, and So many Books So Little Time. If you’re a bibliophile like me, you know how gratifying it is to read about books and people who read them.
