19、The appearance in Glasgow of the largest yearly exhibition of childrens books in Britain will give a wonderful opportunity for Scottish people to see and buy the latest books for children as well as old favorites, both hardback and paperback. The age-range covered will stretch from wordless picture
20、books for the youngest to almost-adult novels.In its early years, the Childrens Book Show was intended for specialist visitors, mainly teachers and librarians.

27、around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society; opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment.

28、es are changing, just as American society is changing.After world War I, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space.
