Than...Walker had so much fun doing this interview! Thank you for a fun, exciting and educational experience for him. We printed the blog post and turned it in as his homework today at preschool - his teachers and lots of other parents were excited that you are interested in the reading habits and preferences of the young ones. Walker really is an avid reader. The number of books this kid has memorized from mommy and daddy reading to him blows my mind. Yesterday we had a new experience though. A local store was doing a fundraiser for his school. We purchased our first set of BOB Books. When we brought them home he immediately wanted to start reading, but this time he was reading to us! He is so proud of himself for beginning to read on his own and we are thrilled that he is beginning the journey of reading this way. We will still read to him, but we are excited about the new doors this will open for him.<br />Thanks again for the opportunity!<br />-Walker's MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425699691615371137.post-13015144398600180352013-03-27T21:16:26.830-04:002013-03-27T21:16:26.830-04:00Thank you, Janelle!

As writers, we can get so wrapped up in what "grown ups" think about our writing--it is always fun (and encouraging) to remember that kids are who we're really writing for! = )Becky Shillingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185515854304384764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425699691615371137.post-5646435295420098532013-03-27T10:39:10.857-04:002013-03-27T10:39:10.857-04:00Becky, what a sweet interview.

And I love what you said about the "true audience of children's literature is made up of a diverse group of young readers."
