When you have children, one the great things you get to do is read...  Not only is reading to your children proven to help encourage their love for learning, but it is also SUPER rewarding as a parent to see their faces light up with a story you were once read.  

In our family, we have several stories that are a favorite.  Our collection includes all the Winnie the Pooh classic books, Peter Rabbit,  and Dr. Suess books...  but now we have included Harry The Dirty Dog and  Where The Wild Things Are.  The boys absolutely LOVE those silly books and now my daughter is loving them, too.  The fun thing I like to do is... well, after we have read and reread the books, I always search the internet for videos of the story....  it really makes them come to life.  It's adds a little more onto the story when they see the pictures come to life... 

Here is one of our favorite stories (Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak).
