4th October 2013: Children's Day, Singapore.
Nothing quite like a
book
There is nothing quite like a book,
Turn a page, peek, take a look.
Pick it up, turn over a leaf,
Wonders inside, beyond belief!
Tucks in your pocket, really neat,
No need for a battery or heat.
Pull it out on the bus or train,
A companion come wind or rain.
No brilliant, bright backlight,
To prevent from sleep at night.
A real page to fold and uncurl,
No tap, no swipe to unfurl.
Each one has a magical cover,
On a shelf, a faithful lover.
Daring to touch, feel the page,
Falling in love, it will amaze.
Fantastic stories inside abound,
Wondrous pictures waiting to be found,
In your hand hold a work of art,
That flowed out of someone's heart.
Children's books are always the best,
A pocket sized treasure chest,
Brimming over with squeals and delight,
And the odd tale to give you a fright,
Imagination fills the air,
Entertainment everywhere.
Oh please read your book, just give it a try,
Don't let a good story simply slip you by.
You'll be surprised, you'll laugh and smile,
Take time to sit, and read awhile.
