“One of the greatest gifts adults can give – to their offspring and to their society – is to read to children.” – Carl Sagan

I know that from reading to my children that it can be easy to forget the pleasure of reading aloud to them. I remember reading the Big Red Bath so often that I can still quote parts of it and even when I can’t remember all the words, the rhythm of the words is still something that I can hear.

I would encourage you to rediscover the joy of reading to your children by participating in :
