Earlier this year I went on vacation for a week to Guadeloupe with the kids. We were in a low-tech village with no tv or computers. Every night I read them on of Italo Calvino's Italian Fables. Rather, that was the intention. The average was three stories a night. One night they made me read four before they would let me go to sleep! :-) I loved every minute of it.

It's out first chapter book only for him and me (his older brother reads totally on his own now). Short chapters, illustrations, chivalry, mice, what could be better?

I am very curious about if Zoe likes to read books in the meantime. I mean after that she enjoyed the stories told by you on her way to schook, should make have her hungry for more. So, is she reading herself now or do you have to read and tell the stories to her? Hi Ilaria,

that is a great story, ehem, artikle. I am very curious about if Zoe likes to read books in the meantime. I mean after that she enjoyed the stories told by you on her way to schook, should make have her hungry for more.
So, is she reading herself now or do you have to read and tell the stories to her?
