DH is a lot better with different voices though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-voices-when-you-read-books-to-your-kids#post-36265 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:14:41 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 36265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ Mr. Bee: He's one of the popular Lamaze toys:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lamaze-Play-Mortimer-Moose-Along/dp/B000I2MRLU" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Lamaze-Play-Mortimer-Moose-Along/dp/B000I2MRLU</a></p> <p>Also, my husband says every impression I do has an element of Bill Cosby. Which I guess just means I'm really bad at impressions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-voices-when-you-read-books-to-your-kids#post-36262 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:13:26 +0000 MegWag 36262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are both pretty dramatic. When we read to little ones, we definitely do silly voices. It makes it really fun to eavesdrop on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-voices-when-you-read-books-to-your-kids#post-36259 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:11:46 +0000 mrbee 36259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: Wow, that voice you mentioned has me intrigued!!</p> <p>Btw, who is Mortimer the Moose? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-voices-when-you-read-books-to-your-kids#post-36258 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:11:00 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 36258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. Also, you should hear my "Mortimer the Moose" voice. It's a cross between Jell-o puddin' pop Bill Cosby and Bullwinkle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-voices-when-you-read-books-to-your-kids#post-36193 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 02:01:59 +0000 Rosie Girl 36193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DS loves it and sometimes he will "read" me a story, and do it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-voices-when-you-read-books-to-your-kids#post-36165 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 00:51:47 +0000 Boogs 36165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. My LO is still younger, so it helps keep his attention just a bit longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-voices-when-you-read-books-to-your-kids#post-36153 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 00:35:51 +0000 mrbee 36153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately I've started using voices and accents when I read to Charlie. I think it's probably harder for him to understand what I'm saying. Plus I am horrible with accents. </p> <p>On the plus side though, using voices and accents really helps me get really into the book. I tell myself that that enthusiasm makes the book reading experience more fun for Charlie! Although to be honest, it probably just is something I do to amuse myself.</p> <p>Do you use voices or accents when you read books out loud to your kids? </p>
