The San Jose Mercury News has a great article by librarian Julie Winkelstein, who writes about the lack of reading material for children when they travel.  I admit that I am guilty of this as well.  My house is filled with books for children, but when we travel we pack handheld games, DVDs, and pencil activities rather than books.  I’ll blame it on the noise of the airplane, but it really would be nice to read aloud a chapter book to my youngest, or see the oldest with his nose in a book rather than a screen.  Hmmm.  Time to pack away some reading treasures for our next trip!
