So we have moved past the little children picture books and now on our library visits we check out 3 or 4 picture book and a new chapter book.
In the past few months we have read:
The Wizard of Oz. The original version which was much stranger than the movie.

I love this little thing we do. How we snuggle in my big bed and read one chapter. I am always amazed at how much The Phi retains and understands. And am blow away by her questions. I am also enjoying reliving my childhood through these book. I can remember exactly in that dark elementary school library where the Ronald Dahl books were kept.
Sofia doesn't understand stories yet.
ReplyDeleteBut I can't wait for the time when she does.
I love reading aloud. I remember my dad doing this. He wouldn't do it too often, but the few times I remember were absolutely hilarious. He'd add in dialogue and make the book sillier.
ReplyDeleteWhen the 7th Harry Potter book came out, I read through it really quick. I then lent my copy to my brother (who was 21 at the time). When I was around we'd read aloud together. It's kinda fun.
