Did you know that if someone reads to us at least "Three Books a Day" when we are young, we will grow up to love books and enjoy reading on our own? My mom used to read to my sister and me beside the fireplace. It was always toasty and warm. Her voice would take us into the world of imagination. I wrote this song, "Three Books a Day" to the tune of "Four Hugs a Day." This version is the instrumental band track.

Nobody reads enough books a day,
'Cause the minimum number is three,
We can read everywhere, on the floor, in a chair,
On a bus; there are stories to read.

Chorus:

Three books a day, that's the minimum.
Three books a day, not the maximum.
Three books a day, that's the minimum.
Three books a day, not the maximum.
