Today is one of my favourite holidays.
World Book Day.
A day when we put down our electronic devices, our iPhones, our iPads, our computers and pick up an old book with paper and spend the day reading.
It’s the best Holiday ever.
What’s your favourite Book to read on World Book Day ?
I like to read Marcovaldo by Italo Calvino.

Here is my Song Selection for the World Book Day Song Playlist ...
Bo Diddley - You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover on 1962 Checker Records.
We love books, and our friends at UNESCO agree. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization proposed World Book Day as a day of celebrating the joy of reading for enjoyment.
One hundred countries observe World Book Day, and why not?
Children who regularly read for enjoyment have higher test scores, develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of other cultures than their non-reading counterparts. Whether you read traditional paperbound books or turn to your Kindle/iPad/whatever, reading’s a passport to this and many other worlds.
