My littlest reader is big into doggie books. Anything with a puppy gets her seal of approval. It is for this reason that Lynley Dodd is an author/illustrator who is well-stocked in our home. Who can go past the sublime images coupled with the fast paced rythmic verse? I love reading these books out loud, they're fun for the reader and the read-ee.
The Doctor is increasingly into longer books, which is fun, each night we curl up in bed together and read for as long as he can keep his eyes open.
I read this awesome article (via the super fantastic Roxy Marj) in the NY Times about a single father reading with his daughter. It's heart-warming. It's beautiful. Read it. Read it now. Drop everything (well not the baby if you're holding one), but DO bookmark it and read it.

bawling!!! the dedication!!! that is insane.... i just love it. we read to busy every night- plus several books throughout the day and she often reads to herself which is very sweet, at night she reads the book after we have.
I'm off to read it now, but first needed to comment on how cute those little painted nails are! x
As a wife to a crowing Kiwi our house is full of Dodd goodness. I am hoping the littlest develops a true love of books soon like the big one
