My kids read for one hour every single day. Let's see what they're reading today. What are you reading? Cress. So you've gone through these books pretty fast. Which book has been your favorite so far? I like all of them. Scarlet is basically Red Riding Hood but different. Scarlet and Cinder are friends? Yes. I think you'll get through this book pretty quickly. I'm excited to see your thoughts on this one. What are you reading? Allegiant. You're already on Allegiant? Yes. You're getting through these series super fast. It's interesting because of what happens later in the book, but no spoilers. Tell me about Tris. She's very interesting because of how she's one of the only divergent. So you meet her and then you meet Four. And then you meet the other factions. You can go into. Do you like it so far? Yes. What are you reading? Penguin. What are you reading? Paw Patrol. Paw Patrol. He always loves to read this book. Even though he can't read. Do you want to read to me, Penguin? Yes. How many more years while I get to just read to him? You look so cute. You're right, Daddy should always read to you. Right? Let's follow them. Who's that? What are you reading? Wind and Truth. Oh, you read all his other books too? It's about the 10 days before this fight between Dolonar, which is the leader of these people, and Odium, which is like this giant evil god. Is it kind of sci-fi or fantasy? Fantasy. Would you recommend it? Yes. I'm reading The Tale of Despereaux. The book she just finished? Because of Winn-Dixie. Tell me your thoughts on Because of Winn-Dixie. I think it was a really good book. Did it make you sad? Yes. It was funny when they found Winn-Dixie by himself. So far, you just started this.
