Please help me! My 3-year-old daughter loves to be read to (hopefully she will read to me someday too – ah, yes, lying in the shade on a warm day, nibbling chocolates, while dear daughter reads my favorite book to me in a calm, soothing voice…screeeech! Well, I can dream can’t I?). Because of the universal desire of little kids to hear the same book over and over and over again, I’m always looking for new books we can read together. We love all kinds of books, new and old, classic to cutting-edge, just about anything really. And every time I ask another parent about what their kids’ current favorites are, I discover wonderful new books I had never heard of before (or had forgotten as the distraction of having a young child in the house jars my brain).
With this web site I’m hoping to share some of our favorite books and, more selfishly, hear about yours. I also want it to be a place where we can share ideas about how you read to your kids, where to get books – beyond the library and full-price retail chains – and maybe your favorite moments reading to your kids. I’ve kicked things off by reviewing a few of our current favorites, and sharing some favorite web sites about kids books, reviews, and where to buy kids books.
