I was about to post a similar thing Ms. Friz. Have you seen his latest, Read All About It?

In a similar vein, there is a college student at our church who impresses me with his character and passion for noble causes. I asked his dad what advice he had for raising kids and he said "I read to him every night." Looks like we'll be in the read aloud phase for the long haul. grin

If your young child is wearing you out wanting to be read to all the time, audio books can be a great help. I found many at my local library and would give DD's the books to read along with too.
