099 FBGT: Treasure Island Traditional Cache

Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. ... Even after children learn to read by themselves, it's still important for you to read aloud together.

As a parent, teacher, and grandparent – I have found no greater pleasure in life than READING. Reading aloud to students, children, and now grandchildren provides an opportunity to STOP in your busy life and pick up a book and give time to books. This trail is filled with titles of my favorite children’s books.

FBGT: Treasure Island
by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1883. Inspired by a treasure map doodled by Stevenson’s stepson one rainy afternoon, this story of buried gold and adventure at sea has had a lasting influence on the popular perception of pirates.
