So. Some of you may have noticed the picture of the book on the left-hand side. Zoe got this book for Christmas. We have been reading Nim's Island by Wendy Orr as a family read aloud every night before the kids go to bed. I read one chapter each night. Last night we finished the last chapter.For the most part, everyone liked it. Zoe did like to jump around on the bed a bit. But Aryn just wanted me to keep reading. She didn't want the chapter to end. That's what I love about reading just one chapter each night. The anticipation.
I love to read. And I love to read aloud. If there is one thing I would like to pass onto each of my children, it is the love of reading. You'll be hearing more about the books we read together as a family here.
We'll be starting the next one soon. It's a book my mom read to us when we were little...

What a great idea. You are such a good mom
We have also enjoyed reading together as a family. We are just finishing The Great Brain. But, our favorite so far was Chicken in the Headlights. We laughed so hard it was hard to get through a page.
Who's the author to Chicken in the Headlights?
My kids loved this book! Reading time before bed is one of my favorite times of the day! Thanks for the great book ideas! I think I will have to check out the Chicken in the Headlights!
Matthew Buckley is the author of Chicken in the Headlights.
