With humor and honesty, Alice shares how, from the time she was in fourth grade until the day she leaves for college, she and her father do not miss a night of reading together.
The book is also a tribute to her father who raised her as a single parent and who was a fabulous children's librarian in the public school. Towards the end it focuses a bit on public education and its disregard for books and reading aloud.
This book was a treat to read as Alice divulges with wit and a delightful writing style the ups and downs of her childhood.
**Highly, highly recommend to those who love reading, reading aloud, children and books.
