FOR THE GROWN-UPS READING ALONG

The last page is just
the beginning.

Each book includes questions and ideas to keep the conversation growing—every time you read together.

What sparked their curiosity today? What made them smile? When did someone need a little kindness? Tomorrow may bring a whole new answer.

As children have new experiences, they bring something different to the same familiar story. A favorite bedtime book can become a small daily moment to listen, connect, and discover how their little world is growing.
