Boy & Baby Girl have read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" many times, but Grandpa hadn't. They liked knowing what he didn't, but he also kept them in suspense with his special method of adding to and elaborating on the story. Before it was popular, my dad read aloud to us. I especially remember him reading Peter Pan and the Little House books to us as children. I think my mother and father's own love of reading and their insistence that we read a lot, controlled our television viewing, and visited the beloved library helped us all become book lovers.
So much attention. Beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteWe have record-breaking cold and snow this winter but still enjoying time outdoors. Our Snowshoes
When I lived in a snowy spot I loved to cross country ski in the yard...so much fun!
DeleteOh that's a gorgeous moment - I have pictures of my Dad reading to my children just as he read to me and I treasure them!
ReplyDeletehe is a very good narrator- he never skips words and he also has a running commentary grandpa-style
DeleteSuch a great story and such a beautiful photo! Just lovely!
