What a great idea! I've recorded a story for when I went out of town without the kids, but didn't think of doing it for when I'm home too.

That is NOT a read-to-me book! Just a lot of flipping pages. I hid the book or just ask tons of questions while we read it to draw it out and make the next reading that much further away.

I know they are thinking and getting ready to make choice. Hopefully soon they will make varied choices, but it might take time.

We finally moved on to other books. These are great tips and explanations as to why we read Goodnight Gorilla for months.

She reads chapter books to herself and me, but this picture book is her pick for when we are snuggling on the couch and I read to her. It is a fun book and I let her do the exciting sections. It was the first book that she was really interested in and helped her on her journey into reading on her own.
