Lisa Harper, a friend of a friend, sent along this photo with the comment:
This picture was taken during a late afternoon/cocktail hour/al fresco impromptu reading session, that became a dinner time storyhour because they couldn’t wait to get to the end of Harry Potter #3. They are: Kory, Finley, and Ella.
Even though my husband hasn’t read my book (he says he’s waiting for the audio version), he reads regularly to our kids, especially our 6-year-old son.
Here are 5 reasons Why Our Son Prefers Dad to Read to Him:
1) Dad does character voices a lot better than Mom
2) Dad has a better recall for the intricacies of plot
3) Dad has a greater affinity for graphic novels.
4) Dad understands that even Lego magazines can be great literature.
5) He’s dad.Many thanks for all your great work.
