Books by Daniel Klawitter

You can stay inside your room-
Yet travel far away.
Just read a book and you’ll be hooked
And with me you can say:

I love to read a story!
I love to hear a poem!
I’ve gone a thousand million miles
And never left my home.

I may watch the television-
And go outside to play.
But reading is the best of all
Let’s read a book today!

Some children like computers-
And there’s nothing wrong with that.
But me, I like the smell of books,
Whether skinny, thick or fat.

It’s true I’ll often sniff them-
When I think no one can see.
Computers are made of plastic,
But books are more like trees.

Life isn’t always easy-
At times it can be tragic.
But read a book and you’ll be hooked-
Books are gosh darn magic.
