I was dealing with a very teary little boy yesterday morning, and it took me about an hour to even get him dressed! So I took some time to snuggle up in bed with all three kids and read some more of George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl.
All three are totally transfixed by it, and my daughters kept laughing at his descriptions of the mean old grandma in the book. My eldest was even keen to have it read to her instead of telly time.
I'd read somewhere that he makes a master story teller out of all of us, and I certainly feel that's true.
You can't help but do funny voices and get caught up in the moment, my voice was hoarse afterwards!
Such a fun book to read aloud! One of the thing I was so excited about when we decided to start a family was that I was going to have children to read to and make fall in love with books like I have.
What's your favourite book to read out loud to children?
Flour Babies by Anne Fine, ( I think that's the correct author )
ReplyDeleteAny book by Alan & Janet Ahlberg - we all loved the character illustrations and alliteration of text. We also read Michael Rosen's The Bear Hunt so many times that we could recite it off by heart (& I probably still can!!).
ReplyDeleteWe also had a board book a book of household items which they would match by pointing to things in our own house, & one with pictures of a hidden teddy bear, which they would point to as babies barely able to sit up.
My girls loved the description of grandma's mouth looking like a dogs bottom, I still giggle thinking about it. We loved all his books, have you read Revolting Rhymes, brilliant!
