Moving on from ‘funny books’
Is your kid stuck in a ‘funny book’ rut? Is that a problem? Megan and Allison discuss one of the big questions in kids’ reading, and look at ways to keep the ‘funny’ even as your kids get older. Megan has fallen in love with a new picture book, while Allison is planning a festival. Quick tips to help young writers steer clear of overwriting, and to create a bedtime reading habit.
