If Really You Are a Great Parent, But Sometimes, Just Occasionally, Not Very Often, You Get the Teensiest Bit Tired of Reading Yet Another Book Aloud

You will love this site. We love it: you should have seen S and E mesmerized by When Pigasso Met Mootisse.

(And if you have a glimmer of angst, personal or societal, over the image of a child sitting glued to the computer screen while a movie star reads her a story, get over it. Let's face it, either you read to your kids all the time, in which case the occasional book read on the computer by a movie star will be a nice change of pace, or you never read to your kids [not that that describes anyone who would read this blog], in which case at least they will get read to by a movie star on the computer. I just don't think there's a category of people who will say "Great! Movie stars on the computer reading books! Finally I can stop reading books to my kids!").

Amen. And thank you.

(LG's class has some contest this week that requires him to write down how many minutes he reads -- is read to -- each day. Yesterday? 80 minutes. And that doesn't count the amount of time I spent reading to his sister while he was at school. Yes, I am losing my voice...)
