Reading aloud offers a promising opportunity for individuals with dementia to activate remnants of their memory and cognitive abilities. Our brains seem to forget what was stored first last. Often, elderly individuals can vividly recall details from their early childhood and recite and sing long poems and songs with all their verses. The 45 short stories in this reading book leverage these abilities by evoking memories of joyful days from childhood, first loves, and significant childhood events. The love for animals is also rekindled. The stories depict real, predominantly cheerful events. The authors were young when the patients were young. They have experienced what many of the patients have experienced in one way or another and take them back to more or less happy times.
