The Growing Child Needs To Read Books
The guest this week In Conversation with Noel Cheer on Triangle Television is the children's author Dorothy Butler who is one of New Zealand’s legendary writers for children and about children. At 87, Dorothy is a passionate advocate for the importance of reading in the life of the growing child,
