Recording our Favorite Books

Last month, I had an idea to make a video of myself reading one of Nicole’s favorite books.  I had already read it to her 3 or 4 times that day and she wanted me to read it to her again.  So I made a recording of the book and played it for her.  She loved it and watched it over and over again.  A little more than a week later, I recorded several books with Ila and another one with Nicole.  I recorded a few more books today.  My current plan is to make a DVD for them to watch and read along with.

Ila has several of her favorite books memorized.  These two are my favorites to read with her because I love hearing her cute little voice reciting them.  The first one is “A Sick Day For Amos McGee”(sorry for the shaky camera work):
My other favorite is “The Shape of Me and Other Stuff”:
I tried to get Nicole to do a similar thing with me, but she just wanted to listen.
