I’ve read to my older grandkids. I’ve even read them my children book I published. That was pretty cool.

I don’t remember that book (The Elephants Child).

They still might, Meka. It wasn’t until my girls discovered the Unfortunate Events series that they got hooked on reading.

My girls used to play school when they were small and my mom was always the pupil- who never graduated to first grade, lol.

I still watch Little House on the Prairie if I come across it on TV. I love it!

You’re right, it’s so important. I love your girl’s book collection!

I have his book of stories that includes that one along with The Jungle Book stories which I loved! I also have the complete set of Little House on the Prairie books which I would read over and over and can still go back to for what I call “comfort reading”, less calories. Reading is what I do as an adult to relax and is something I find time to do whenever I can. I read to my son and he does enjoy reading as does his wife. It is something they have in common.
