Light Reading

I know how important early exposure to reading books can be for babies and young children. I read to Bronwen each night, or TJ does, and she usually enjoys adventuring with her Personal Penguin or bidding Good Night to the Moon. Sadly, this is not enough for her any more. She has decided that she wants to take matters into her own hands and read without my assistance.

I allowed her full access to my library. She perused the shelves, her eyes searching for the text that would fulfill her yearning for good literature. After choosing her tome, she settled into the couch, scanning the front cover for any clue of the adventures contained within.

Finding the cover acceptable, she opened the book and began to scan the contents.

She needed something to munch on as she became more involved in the tale. Instead of chips or popcorn, she opted for her ergonomically designed pacifier, which seemed to satisfy her craving. Here I interrupt her as she is almost halfway into her reading.

I know the suspense is killing you. What did Bronwen find so engrossing? What book could possibly have kept her attention for so long? Let's just say...she is obviously MY child.
