Sometimes there is nothing better than reading for fun.\u00a0Good ol\u2019 fluffy reading. For my girls that would be Junie B. Jones<\/em> or Ramona\u00a0<\/em>books. They can easily identify with and connect to the character and we have\u00a0some good laughs together with these books.<\/p>\n

There are other reasons to reading with and\/or to your\u00a0child and that would be to expose them to some new thinking. Some good examples\u00a0of these books are found in the category of \u201cBooks that Educate\u201d in the Be\u00a0There Bedtime Stories bookstore. From numbers to nature to outer space, these\u00a0books are fun to read and bring some new learning opportunities to the table.<\/p>\n

My girls received the story of Meet the Planets<\/em> by John\u00a0McGranaghan from their Aunt. After reading about the planets she encouraged the\u00a0girls to pick a favorite planet and asked them why they picked it. She also\u00a0asked them to guess which planet was her favorite. She gave them some time to\u00a0guess and then told them what her choice was. They then had the chance to tell\u00a0their aunt their favorite planet when they sent the thank-you response. They\u00a0most likely won\u2019t have any formal lessons on the solar system until third-grade,\u00a0but this book gave them the beginning of background knowledge on it. This
