Aw, I remember reading so many of those to my kids! Now they are all growed up and I hope they will read those stories to my grandchildren!

I love ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ but was surprised when my daughter expressed fear after I read it to her! She surprises me sometimes with what scares her and what doesn’t. But that is one of the great things about reading- it can allow you to have different emotions, but in a safe way. Does that make any sense whatsoever?

Becky,
Well said! (It made perfect sense to me.)

Just read one of the Fancy Nancy books with Juliana. I loved how it was a vocabulary builder without her even knowing it!
