DESCRIPTION
Why should children's books be left behind once we grow up? In this short, thoughtful essay, Katherine Rundell makes the case that children's literature has just as much to offer adult readers, from its sense of play and possibility to its ability to rekindle the imagination.
Rundell explores the history and enduring value of children's fiction, considering how these stories can awaken old hungers, offer new perspectives, and remind grown-up readers of vulnerability, hope, joy, and wonder. Compact enough to read in a single sitting, Why You Should Read Children's Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise is an inviting celebration of reading for book lovers of any age.

"Love the rotating seasonal items and the consistent supply of specialty office supplies!! Jerrol's makes it fun to pick up page protectors-- if I happen to also purchase a chicken-shaped mug or gorgeous wildflower apron while I'm there as well, that's just a happy accident lol :)"
"In one quick visit, I was able to get help finding art supplies for a new project as well as order some new release books for my daughters for Christmas. It’s great to have a small business in town that can do all that!"
"What a fun quirky place. Art supplies, RC cars, and puzzles, yep! Need a coffee while browsing the vintage clothing, sure! Office furniture, yep! Need some university gear, they have that too! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area."
“I came in for something specific and left with exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.”
