My husband is not much of a book lover, so I encourage him to read to the kids every night. It has worked well, all the kids love books and sleep with them as well!<BR/>I first discovered "Love you forever" at an end of year preschool concert. The teacher read it out and there was not a dry eye in the room.<BR/>I have got our local bookstore ordering in the Red tent and Kite runner. I have just about finished "The time travellers wife"<BR/>(I have 1 chapter to go and don't want it to be over)and I can highly recommend it.Jenny Quldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556485665286961132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-1156365978673925472006-08-23T15:46:00.000-05:002006-08-23T15:46:00.000-05:00Amen and amen.

I didn't start quite as early as you did, but by 6 or 8 months, I tried to read daily, and now it's the only way he will sit still and be quiet. I gotta indulge him as often as he wants, but regrettably I often shoo him away. . . .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789250398792504412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-1156342640865758872006-08-23T09:17:00.000-05:002006-08-23T09:17:00.000-05:00That's so great!

A pun!)<BR/><BR/>For each child, I chose a year when their birthday invitations included, "My favorite toy is a book." Receiving all those books from their friends reinforced the value of reading.
