Like we need this!

(Put it on my wishlist anyway, because part of the proceeds go to a good cause, and besides, any book that includes the line "read to your bunny and your bunny will read to you" is worth getting, no matter the text/content of the rest of it)

Half an hour isn't that much. Slip it into bedtime. (And for Ana, she gets nearly as much reading-to from me as she likes. It's about building vocabulary, not about teaching her to read)

Half an hour isn't too much. I just was making a related point. Read to your child, read a lot, but not necessarily always on demand.

Vocabulary building happens naturally and easily if you just use your full vocabulary around the child. Not any special effort, you just don't go through effort to avoid terms, and define on demand. Because my family had good vocabularies, I had one with no effort.

I don't recall ever being read to at bedtime though. I think that'd have been nice.
