Reading Gives You Wings

 By Kermit the Frog

 

Reading a book can give you wings

And open your eyes to many new things,

Things you have not experienced before.

Reading books will open many a door.

 

When I read I soar over mountains.

Exciting stories overflow like fountains.

Seeing the world from a bird's point of view,

This could be wonderful thing for you.

 

On the wings of a book you can fly anywhere,

As slow as a tortoise or as fast as a hare.

Take as long as you want, there is no limit,

Even if for only one minute.

 

Use your brain,

Get inside the book,

Or encourage your friends to just take a look.

Get hooked on a book, novel, or story.

I promise that you will never be sorry.
