This week is Children's Book Week, and we can't think of a better way to celebrate than by introducing our newest iVillage blogger. Best-selling author James Patterson is here to share his passion for reading and his tips for parents who want to develop that passion in their kids. Check out The Fine Art of Pageturning -- and leave your comments for James.

And be sure to celebrate Children's Book Week at home by trying a suggestion or two from The Children's Book Council:
•At dinner, encourage each family member to describe their favorite book.
•Take a family trip to the library or bookstore, and pick out a few new books to bring home.
•Work with your child and friends to develop a play based on a scene from their favorite book. Invite everyone over to watch the production!
•Write a story based on favorite book characters. Work together as a family to develop plot ideas.
•After dinner, instead of watching TV, read aloud to each other.

Happy reading!
