The Magic of a Book
There’s something magical about a book. A book can take you to places you’ve only ever dreamed of. I was reminded of this when I read my son’s favourite book, DK Mighty Machines. We turned to his favourite page, the one with the helicopter, when he asked for a kiss. Well, I don’t need to be asked twice so I gave him a kiss. Then, would you believe it, he proceeded to try and get inside the helicopter by putting his head into the book. I LOVED IT! It made me smile; it made me laugh; it made me remember the wonder of a book and that’s the magic.
My husband was laughing as he snapped these pictures (below) of when I was reading a story to my two youngest. I know I look funny, but children love it when you read with a lot of expression. Mem Fox has wonderful tips of reading to children on her website. I’ve touched on the importance of reading to children in this post.
HAVE FUN READING TO YOUR CHILD/REN!
NOTE: If you’re interested in buying Mighty Machines from DK, you will only be able to purchase it from Total Learning. Contact me for more details.
