Short version: I loved reading picture books to the kids, but don't love reading chapter books (especially if they're badly written!).

Longer version: I love reading simple and short books to the kids, and for years that's all we read. But lately I've found that reading long books to the kids can be really boring for me, mostly because a lot of them are badly written! And if the book is really well written, I want to stop reading out loud and just read ahead on my own. #worstdadever

Basically I'm a terrible reader of chapter books. Mrs. Bee is so much better at reading long boring chapter books to the kids! I can only do a few chapters at a time, and then I have to take a break. I've been trying to force it though, because I know how important reading is for the kids.

Do you like reading books to your kids?
