Book Review: The Reading Promise

The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared by [Ozma, Alice]Alice Ozma and her father decided to see if they could start a reading streak . When she was in fourth grade, her father said he wanted to challenge himself to see if he could read out loud to her for 100 straight nights. After the challenge was met they would have a celebration. Post challenge they decided to continue and they did until the day she began her journey in college. 
This book gave me such a warm feeling as this is what my husband and I did with our children when they were growing up. We even read some of the same books as Alice's father did. We also read the Oz books by L. Frank Baum, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and some of Shakespeare's play. Unlike the father, we did not continue with this as long but it did help to build unbreakable bonds as I am sure this did with Alice and her father. 
I was given this book by Grand Central in exchange for an honest review.
