I realized that I liked to read when I was in the fourth grade and we read Where the Red Fern Grows as a class. I was hooked with "chapter books," or novels as the big kids called them. From then on, I always had a book on my nightstand that I would read before turning off the light.
This post is one is a series of posts discussing what is on my nightstand tonight. Tonight's book is: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See? by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle. I know, not what you would expect a grown adult to have on her nightstand. However, it is my daughter's favorite book.
At first, I thought it was me insisting it was her favorite book, so tonight, I did a little reading experiment. I read two books to the Munchkin and she was more interested with the Brown Bear book than the other. She reached out to touch the pages, looked up at me if I stopped reading, and babbled to herself. So you see, even six-month old babies have a preference of books! (The other book, for those who are curious, was a book about counting....maybe the Munchkin doesn't like math?)
So, what's on your nightstand today?
The munchkin will love math eventually! (As a math person, I know these things!)
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a really interesting book about Bananas..it's a nonfiction book about the genetics of bananas and how they are not going to be around in the future. Very interesting.
Not a thing on mine this week...or month! I need to get back into the swing but I tend to get lost in a book and can't put it down so I have to make myself take a break. haha. Great Blog Kate!
