So there is still hope. <br /><br />As far as grandkids, my two grandsons have a non-reading mother. Living at a distance, it's difficult to get any reading time with them, so my solution is to send them books for every occasion. I don't think they are getting much use, but hopefully, as the boys get into grade school (they are currently K and 2nd) they will pick them up on their own.<br /><br />Enjoy every minute of reading to Brynn.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094928747500699123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-56672191572248903382011-07-16T08:58:17.463-05:002011-07-16T08:58:17.463-05:00I'm totally in love with the sounds of this st...I'm totally in love with the sounds of this story and the relationship between the father/daughter!

And if it helps any, my dad read aloud to me when I was little, but it didn't continue after I was about 5 or 6 and look at me:) But I do LOVE that you're already making library visit plans with Brynn!!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521424959799675536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-84586567799162098702011-07-15T10:47:52.368-05:002011-07-15T10:47:52.368-05:00The description of the book brought tears to my ey...The description of the book brought tears to my eyes. I read to my son until he decided he was too old for it and I kind of regret that I didn't push harder to keep it going. Books not only bond, they're also great conversation starters.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-14934182946605432642011-07-15T09:25:03.997-05:002011-07-15T09:25:03.997-05:00This book sounds precious.

But then they decided it wasn't cool and turned their backs on it. They turned their backs on audios too. I'm hoping that one day, they will want it back but I'm beginning to see that this can't be forced.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-36639709045463393822011-07-15T07:28:20.815-05:002011-07-15T07:28:20.815-05:00Glad to see this is worth checking out again!

We did a lot of reading aloud as the girls were growing up - from board books as babies through Harry Potter and The Series of Unfortunate Events when they were older. Still, only 2 of the 3 are readers, so you may be being a bit too hard on yourself, Molly. Love that you're planning special library visits with Brynn already!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-90256077272908684822011-07-15T06:26:44.444-05:002011-07-15T06:26:44.444-05:00Molly, don't blame yourself...I am a teacher a...Molly, don't blame yourself...I am a teacher and have two kids. My daughter barely likes to read...And my son,, who is younger, likes to read even Time magazine. I started reading to them but as a teacher my voice was so worm out by night time that sometimes it just was too hard. I would also like to recommend to you the book The Reading Aloud Handbook by Jim Trealese. It's great book about the benefits of reading to kids since they are infants. Bon chance in your trip to Paris!kikiv68https://www.blogger.com/profile/14889668034475327486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-51874605219588123192011-07-15T05:37:48.706-05:002011-07-15T05:37:48.706-05:00I would luv to read this book, what a wonderful go...I would luv to read this book, what a wonderful goal between a father and his daughter.
