T Baker commented on a colleague who read aloud from Junie (?) B. Jones to preschoolers. In my personal life, I am also in search of chapter books and longer picture books to share. I recently read Vera B. Williams's Scooter to my 4-year-old daughter, and she greatly enjoyed it. We ready it over the course of 6 or 7 nights, and each night she wanted to return to it. Just recently, she asked me if I'd bring it home again. What fun!
I am enjoying being able to integrate longer books--books we can stretch out of the course of multiple nights--into our reading experiences, even as we continue to seek out new picture books, as well as old (and not so old) favorites.
I've always loved Jim Trelease's introduction to his terrific Read Aloud Handbook, where he shares a story about a parent who read to her child from birth, so that when he was four he was more than ready to hear Charlotte's Web. That is what got me thinking years ago about reading chapter books to my own child when she was old enough and experienced enough for sustained listening.
