TWENTY MINUTES A DAY

By Richard Peck

Read to your children 

Twenty minutes a day; 

You have the time,

 And so do they. 

Read while the laundry is in the machine; 

Read while the dinner cooks; 

Tuck a child in the crook of your arm

 And reach for the library books. 

Hide the remote, 

Let the computer games cool, 

For one day your children will be off to school: 

 You have the choice; 

Let them hear the first tales In the sound of your voice.

Read in the morning; 

Read over noon; 

Read by the light of Goodnight Moon. 

Turn the pages together, 

Sitting close as you'll fit, 

Till a small voice beside you says, 

Hey, don't quit.
