bunk bed

Oh night-time reading and bunkbed forts go hand in hand. C's reading has really taken off this year with him having his own space and a lamp near his bed so that he can stay up later than his sisters. Comic style books seem to be his favorite at the moment, and some of the sillier chapter books, but I know his desire for a really good story is there. Right now he wants one of us to read-aloud a story or poem from the Book of Virtues before he goes to bed. I borrowed it off my in-laws shelf because it was a compact collection of many familiar classic poems, short stories, and speeches arranged into chapters about courage, love, friendship, loyalty, honesty; a reliable reference in this land of hard to find books for a good read.
