Island of the Blue Dolphins is a favorite read-aloud memory of mine, too. Also Roald Dahl's The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More, which inspired me to stare into a candle flame for hours in hopes of developing my own ability to see through the backs of playing cards and thus win my fortune in Vegas. Alas....

I clearly remember being read to by my 4th/5th grade teacher, Mr. Ron Wetterholt. He is the one that is responsible for sparking a love of reading in me. He had a wonderful voice and would set aside 1/2 hour everyday to read to us. He re ad us The Hobbit, Watership Down, fables by James Thurber and many others. I've already read to my 6 year old Stuart Little and My Father's Dragon. Both of these books lend themselves beautifully to being read aloud. I look forward to hearing what ot hers have to say.

I don't remember being read to by my parents much; I do remember my grandfather reading *The Rooster Crows.* I thought the bear climbing an icy-looking mountain was magical, and so w as the "I see the moon" picture, and the sailor looking out to sea. I still get a wave of nostalgia looking through it.
I for one am glad it has been reissued without the objectionable pictures, so the book can live.
The musicality of the language may have been its main appeal.
I quite often read the children's story in church as well as on the job, of course, as well as being a storyteller.
Oral language has become more and more important to me.
A reading b y Seamus Heaney at the local college awhile back was positively orgasmic.
I can say that on this list, right?

We read hundreds of books to our three children from birth, but what stands out the most in my memory, & in theirs, is the reading of The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings. When our eldest was about 5 or 6 years old my husband
began with The Hobbit. When the second was about t hat age, he began again,
& then again with the third. So all three heard the series at least 3 times. I washed the dishes from the evening meal (very quietly) as my husband read, so that I could share the experience as well. We were plunged into another world every evening.
