[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you reading it aloud? Not all great books are great read-alouds. I learned my lesson with "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler"--should just have let my daughter read it and enjoy it on her own.[/quote]

Wow. I am really interested to know why this book did not go over well out loud. This is one of the books I look or ward to reading to my kids.[/quote]

Well, maybe because I am not an expert narrator who records audiobooks! There may have been factors related to the writing style. But honestly, a book about kids ditching the parents and living on their own? Probably more fun for a kid to read on his/her own, not to be read by the boring old parents they dream of ditching.[/quote]

When you read, you unknowingly add your own inflection to the writing. Your child knows those tones and it will take away from the story because they'll be hearing your likes and dislikes. Highly imaginative books should be read alone so the child only has to compete with their own mind and not yours as the middleman.[/quote]
