For grown-ups and little listeners
Reading together, your way.
You do not need perfect voices or a perfect bedtime. Sometimes a good story starts with a small invitation.
Make room for the story.
Start with a comfortable place and let the pace feel natural. If a picture catches a child's attention, enjoy that moment. There's no need to rush to the next page.
Follow the questions.
A child may ask why a character feels shy, or where the moon goes in the morning. You don't need every answer; wondering aloud is part of the fun.
It's okay to stop.
A story can be enjoyed over two evenings. And an older child might like to read some lines aloud to you instead.
Choose thoughtfully.
Our age suggestions are for convenience. Each family knows its own preferences, comfort and reading routines best.
