One Book Two Book - Great Blog About Children's Books

I recently discovered One Book Two Book, a delightful blog by Kelly Phillips Erb. Here you'll find information, updates and resources concerning children's books. Kelly is the mom of three children under the age of five and keeps up to date with what's going on in the children's book world.

Her recent post, JK Rowling is "Entertainer of the Year," is a good follow-up for my previous Harry Potter post. Even though I haven't been able to get into those books and movies, Ms. Rowling should be commended for bringing so many youngsters (and adults) to enjoy reading.

Kelly also had another fun post, Our Bedtime Tradition, about story time in the Erb household. This reminded me of the three generations of reading in my family. It even may date back to my mom's childhood.

Mother read to my sister, brothers and me at bedtime. My husband and I read to our daughter. If we tried to skip a part we'd hear, "You aren't reading all of it!" My daughter and son-in-law have always read to their children, who now are avid readers themselves.

What are your bedtime story traditions?
