Reading was one of my leisure time activity before Sophie was born. However, I seldom read fiction because I actually enjoy acquiring new knowledge and improve the quality of our lives. Nowadays, I am beginning to appreciate children literature more than ever (I used to have a small collection for teaching purposes) and I quite eager to share some of our favourites to others.
To be honest, I could not understand the rave for Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, even after I had bought it from Kinokuniya, until I saw it on YouTube. The narrated version by Susan Sarandon was charming and captivating (for Sophie). To be honest, I love listening to narrations (done professionally, complete with sound effects and music...), they make all the difference although you should not replace actual reading with narrations entirely. Well, now that I understand why this book is such a winner, you can see if you like it as well.
