There’s no App for that

Sometimes authors, publishers, or parents whose kids use PicPocket Book Apps ask me if I think that book apps will eventually replace print books.

Why Reading Aloud Rocks

We all probably have a good idea of why reading aloud to children is important and positive.

But in case you weren’t sure, or are still curious, this great article, Best Read Aloud Books For Kids, goes over all the benefits.

A great resource! Short and sweet, too.
