Pop-Up to Reading!!!

I have never been much of a reader. I don't have trouble reading, it just has never excited me the way it does for some people. I have a crazy imagination, but I never could use it in reading. Some people say they can read a book and see it playing out in their mind. I on the other hand need pictures! Words on a paper don't mean much to me unless you have pictures.

Yes I do work in Marketing and enjoy the visual side of my job more then the grammatical side. Most the time if you see me in Barnes and Noble I am in the kids section. Usually sitting down looking at the Pop-Up books. Those are my favorite!!! It is like a surprise on every page you never know what is going to pop out at you. If my boss would let me I would figure out some way to make my marketing items pop-up brochures.

But lately, reading pop-up books and kids picture books has sparked a new strange interest in my life, reading regular non-picture books. I can not explain how this happened, but lately I have found myself not turning on the TV at night, but rather grabbing a book and reading. Now I know all you teachers out there are SO EXCITED so enjoy that statement. I still have not learned how to make the book come to life yet, but that is fine. I still enjoy it.

I have not put picture books away for good. You will still find me in the kids sections at B&N. And I am writing my own kids picture book. It will be a classic I can feel. It will be out within the next month I hope.

Now I must get back to reading after I am done watching some TV!!!!
