1-31-08 - "You Reading to Me"

Since Moo has learned to read, she reads to me or to herself much more than I read to her. Today, she brought a book to me called "Petite Rouge: A Cajun Red Riding Hood" by Mike Artell. It is a rhyming book, written with a cajun accent. ("dis" for "this", "jomp" for "jump", "t'inkin'" for "thinking") I looked at the book and decided that it was MY turn to read to her. I had a great time making up my own "cajun" accent and reading the wonderful spin on an old fairytale. That was my favorite part of the day... Oh yeah... and Moo's too!
