![]() I might not have learned that finishing a book has its own rewards. Without this book I might not have learned that reading is fun, exciting and a celebration. I would peer at the “dog party” double page at the end of the book over and over again – I still don’t tire of it – seeing all the individual celebrations going on. I tried to trick the dogs pictured by only half turning the page to see if whilst the book was closed those naughty little tricksters would get up to more mischief. I would return to it, daily, weekly and over the years delighting in words, color and the smallness of the details in the book. Not only is it the first book I can remember, it is the first book I could read. (Side note: How often do we give books to little children to explore? – I lament the electronic baby-sitters aka the iPad.) My earliest memories were of turning its pages carefully and sitting for hours – sounding out the words and exploring the pictures. The book was published in 1961 and I was born only a few years later. Eastman off by heart – even though it is close to half a century since I first delighted in the words and pictures of ‘Go Dog Go’. “Hello.” “Hello.” “Do you like my hat?” “No I do not like your hat!” “Good bye” “Good bye” ![]() Tags: Entrepreneurial Journey / Gratitude / Working Parents ![]()
