Profile: Hello, my name is Paul. I'm a DBA/Web programmer by day, and a wannabe fiction writer at night. In addition to that, I'm father to a beautiful 23 month old little girl. Ever since the first day we brought our daughter home from the hospital, we have been reading to her, starting with The Going to Bed Book by Saundra Boynton and the classic Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown up to whatever Blue's Clues book we can find at the library. Reading is a big part of our life. Each week, I hope to share that with all of you. Books will be rated on a scale of 1 Sippy Cup to 5 Sippy Cups, based on my opinion of the book, weighed heavily with my daughter's opinion on the book.

You Gotta Read To Your Kids

Post written by: Paul

As you may have surmised from my Sippy Cup Reviews, I’m a big fan of books. I love to read and have loved to read for as long as I can remember. This most certainly has to do with my parents and how they encouraged me to read and read to me at [...]
