I live in a little mountain town in Utah and we have moose that wander around from time to time- they are the most fascinating animals! I certainly hope that my kids will grow up to love books as I have. I’m not Alaskan, however I LOVE Moose!!

Tonight we read a fun <a href="http://www.drhippo.com/" rel="nofollow"> fun </a> book titled, "The Moose with Loose Poops," by Charlotte Cowan. I read this story to my kids last week, and they loved it and have asked for it every night. They get a huge bang out of the title and the fact that “loose poops” is part of the story. So funny!

Annie, your children are adolescents now? What do you read to them? Cynthea, what a gift indeed--did your sister read to you as well as teach you how to read? Annie and Cynthea–

My older sister always got to do everything first. She'd go off to school and come back with all sorts of new things for me to learn. She taught me to read before I hit kindergarten. She gave me a gift. Amen to that. My older sister always got to do everything first. She’d go off to school and come back with all sorts of new things for me to learn.

She taught me to read before I hit kindergarten.

She gave me a gift.

I read to them every night, too. And still do when there's time. Part of my children’s elementary and junior high school homework here in Japan was to read aloud every night.

By the way, I love your story about telling stories to the cows. (I was always afraid of cows--but not dogs that looked like wolves--go figure...)

You've certainly got me thinking - perhaps I should be taking a bit of a backseat at storytime and actively encouraging my two to read to eachother. Maybe the Book Challenge will be a good opprotunity for that... I agree with Ali – I love hearing about your childhood, Janet.
