Thank you to everyone who sent me photos of their kids caught reading. They are wonderful! As always, I will send you a children’s book for each photo. Please email me at pragmaticmomblog (at) gmail (dot) com.
This Family Circus cartoon is courtesy of Ann of Doodles and Jots who sent it to me by way of Instagram.
Thank you to Cathy of bildebok from Cathy Ballou Mealey of her two cuties reading.

Geneviève says, “My daughter Chloé is almost 3, and she loves it when we read to her, but she also likes to “read” on her own!”

Fun! I always enjoy this series on your blog 🙂
Also, your spam filter thinks my comment was automated. I promise it wasn’t.
And now it thinks I type too fast.
