I adore Little Wolf's Book of Badness. It's so amusing! And that's the thing. I encourage parents not to disengage from read alouds with their children when the kids are capable of reading independently. They still appreciate the interaction with parents. If they don't want to read a book with you, there is still the possibility of reading the book on your own and sharing your thoughts while inviting feedback. Parents honour children's literature and their children's interests when they remain actively intrigued by their children's choices in reading. There is so much out there in children's literature nowadays--so much to enjoy! How wonderful to hear Ian Whybrow! I adore Little Wolf’s Book of Badness. It’s so amusing! And that’s the thing.

It's about that spell being cast over you and your child as you read them a book aloud - you're both caught up in the story, and it's magic! It's interesting about the whole pride of ownership thing, and trying to get books into kids' hands - I wonder if there are statistics on library card ownership, and if there are any literacy projects that focus on teaching kids how to get books out of the library for free... thanks for this interview, I enjoyed it!
