If you could travel 20 years into the future and ask your children what memories they have of their bedtime stories, what do you think they would say? Would it be a vague recollection that some books were occasionally read when Dad had the time? Or would a smile come over their faces as they recalled something truly special? How would you like your children to answer? Within these pages you will find advice on how to be the "best-est" reader in the eyes of your young children.

This book is for Dads (and Mums), Grandads (and Grandmums), Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Babysitters, Teachers, and anyone else involved in this noblest of past times: reading to our children.
