Little Bookworm in the Making

Little M is crazy about books already. Watching her reminds me of this beautiful E Nesbit dedication from 'Five Children and It':

My Lamb, you are so very small,
You have not learned to read at all.
Yet never a printed book withstands
The urgence of your dimpled hands.
So, though this book is for yourself,
Let mother keep it on the shelf
Till you can read. O days that Pass,
That day will come too soon, alas!
