The Read-Aloud Family: Making Meaningful and Lasting Connections with Your Kids by Sarah MacKenzie
4.0
This book reinforced things I already know--that reading with my kids is one of the best ways to spend time together--but it also gave me a new appreciation of reading out loud even after kids can read to themselves. I liked Sarah Mckenzie's warm style and her emphasis on the ways that books build relationships and wonder (even more important than academic development). The chapter on great questions to ask your kids was my favorite, and the reading lists at the end gave me a bunch of new authors to try. I made a lot of notes!
Side note: This book has some references to Christianity, God, and kids' Bible recommendations. This is a small part of the book overall, and part of the author's family and perspective; it didn't feel like a "religious" book to me. If you're sensitive to that stuff, though, it's worth knowing ahead of time.
