Abstract
UNIVERSITY, Miss. -- When classic stories such as "Charlotte's Web," "Goodnight Moon," and "The Snowy Day" are passed on from one generation to another, they continue to prove at least one concept unrivaled by CD burners, video games, and other high-tech toys: books stand the test of time. Whether bought as presents or borrowed or purchased to fill idle vacation time before and after the holidays, a traditional page-turner can still hold a child's interest and help establish firm reading habits, said Dr. Martha Chambless, coordinator of elementary education in The University of Mississippi (UM) School of Education's Curriculum and Instruction Department.
