NanceXToo Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Play along :) The last book I read aloud to my 4 y/o was: The Butter Battle Book, by Dr. Seuss The last book I read aloud to my 10 y/o was: On The Banks Of Plum Creek (we're in the middle of reading it). (We're also in the middle of "The Witch of Blackbird Pond"- the Little House series is for fun, The Witch of Blackbird Pond is for school). What was the last (or current) read aloud in your house?

MamaAkins Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Let's see....Today I've read, "Viking Adventure" aloud to my 1st and 4th grader, and "Beorn the Proud" to all of the kids. I also read 2 chapters out of the Vos Story Bible to my 3 year old and 1st grader. My 1st grader and I are also reading "Little House in the Big Woods" together. I won't even mention the 4 Dora & Diego books I read to my 3 year old today or the umpteen short stories I read out of the 365 Disney bedtime stories book! No wonder my voice is hoarse by the end of the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Currently I'm reading The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. I want to read that. I never have, and I LOVED the movie. I actually just checked yesterday to see if my library had it so I could reserve it- and they don't have it! I'll order it from Interlibrary Loan at some point! But I guess I'll wait, we're still working our way through the Little House series for fun, we're reading Witch of Blackbird Pond for school together, my daughter is reading I Am Regina for school independently, and she's reading some A to Z Mysteries book for library book club so another one at this point would be overkill lol.

LibraryLover Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Ooh I remember really liking that one (and feeling really spooked by that one, too!) when I was a kid! Last week she asked me to read Sherlock Holmes stories...but they were spooking me out, so I begged off. This is better than that. The Speckled Band one freaked me out as a kid and I found it still does. ;) I do notice that when she is reading about Sherlock, she is in my bed. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Since school started though, I haven't read anything aloud. How do you all do it? We run out of day. :confused: My daughter loves when I read aloud to her while she eats her breakfast. That's usually how we start our day :) Sometimes we read some more before bed, sometimes we don't. And sometimes we just find odd moments during the day. But almost always at breakfast!

If you are going to buy The Neverending Story, be sure to buy this copy It is printed in two colors. Purple for our world and green for Fantastica. It makes the story come alive that much more.

I've never read that one, but indeed, I do know how hard that is! Try reading almost any of the "Pigeon" books by Mo Willems. Hysterical!
