Today my 2-year-old nephew read Brown Bear Brown Bear by Eric Carle to me and it is the last book I’ll ever need to read again, in fact it is the only book that now exists, there are no other books, end of book blog, thanks for playing.
Brown. Bear. Brown-Bear. Whatchyoo shee?
I love it when kids do this. It makes all the readings – ALL THE READINGS – of the same books over and over and over worth it. You can literally see your hard work paying off (in this particular case my sister and my brother-in-law’s work). Look at those pudgy fingers turning pages. Listen to them rolling the words in their mouths. It’s working! They are on their way to reading on their own.
Of course one day you will miss them wanting to read with you… or sit next to you for the time it takes to read a picture book… it’s a whole thing. Cycle of parenting. But anyway.
Whatchyoo think, Brown Bear?
