I just love it! I've also found blogging to be a nice creative, educational outlet for me since taking time off from being a middle school teacher. I've connected with so many wonderful parents and educators along the way, and I'm always so inspired to know how many other people out there are as passionate as I am about reading with their kids. I couldn't agree with you more about how much bigger blogging is than just writing. Perhaps I should have kept things more general and not set such a lofty goal :) I'm excited about the challenge, though, and while it seems to get harder to find more great books as I go along, I know they are out there just waiting for us! It has been such a fun project for me, though I sometimes wonder if I got in a bit over my head by vowing to find 365 fabulous books. Thanks so much for your lovely reply, Read Aloud Dad! I'm so thrilled you enjoyed my blog, as well. Thanks for taking the time to get in touch - and for your reminder about these two fabulous books!
If I Built a House is an incredible follow-up on what was already a perfect book (If I Built a Car). The fantastic rhymes and the incredible illustrations are such a killer combination. Yes, I can't believe that these two books are not more widely known. Those two books are indeed unimaginably good - we have them both. With just one holiday!īack to Chris Van Dusen - you just put "If I Built A House" ( ) and "If I Built a Car" ( ) on the top of my review list. Imagine taking all those books away on a holiday, I think that any parent would change the lives of his/her kids forever. That is a list that blows my mind how good it is. I simply love what you are doing on 365 Great Children's Books - just look at what a fabulous list of summer books you compiled on your blog at !! And this gave me an extra boost of confidence about reading aloud to my kids.Īnd wait a moment.
I got into contact with so many like-minded parents and teachers. Thanks so much for letting me know! Wow, I get so emotional when I read comments such as yours.Įvery now and then, I get that feeling that I may be missing the point with my posts and that Read Aloud Dad has become "just another boring and repetitive blog" - and then a comment like yours comes to shine a light on my day.įunnily enough, Read Aloud Dad has a served a much greater purpose for me than blogging.
