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 was 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 by 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 that 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.
