I came across this book last year while doing research for a class I was taking. It soon became one of my favorites. Jennie Nash goes through the ups and downs she experienced while trying to instill a love of reading in her children. Because reading is her passion, naturally, she desires her children to experience the magic of reading as well. It is filled with wonderful lessons that can be applied to other aspects of our lives aside from teaching our children to love reading. It contains countless book suggestions, and some fabulous quotes.
“When a book is good – think Harry Potter –it doesn’t matter if you’re a boy or a girl, a mom or a dad. We all want to lose ourselves in a good story; we all want to feel what it’s like, just for a little while, to get inside someone else’s head”
If you’re not “raising readers,” you might still enjoy this book. It is a quick read and Jennie’s writing style is enjoyable to read. You’ll definitely walk away with at least two or more books that you haven’t read, that you’d like to. If you’d rather read something else, finish “Annie Between the State,” I’d still love to discuss it; or pick something new to read and let us know how it was.
As stated in the comment by Jennie Nash, the book is out of print. However you can find it on Amazon.com if your library doesn't have it in stock.
