I’m so glad that my daughter loves to read. Well to be more exact, loves to be read to. I have to read to her at least three times a day, and going to the library renders the same excitement as a trip to Chuck E Cheese.
To say that my husband and I started early would be an understatement. We started reading to my daughter when she was in the womb. Sometimes I would read whatever book I was reading aloud, other times I would pick out an interesting Bible story. I can’t help but think that the early reading made a huge impact on her love of books. It’s interesting to see this new generation of children discovering some of the same stories that we loved when we were little.
Some of her favorites are:
Anything by Dr. Seuss, but especially Cat in a Hat.
Tick-Tock, Drip-Drop by Nicola Moon.
And The Adventures of Isabel, by Ogden Nash. (I have to admit, I picked this one because it had my daughter’s name, just with different spelling.)
What books do you read to your children?
