Week
Our goal with this page is to help parents offer a weekly alternative to video screens by
providing some amusing reading that can help promote early childhood literacy. Sitting and
reading with younger children is a great way for families to spend some quality time. (And for
us adults, hey, who doesn’t like a good comic) ...enjoy!
