The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books
We Shared

Genre: nonfiction
Pages: 304

3.5 out of 5
I loved the
project this father and daughter conquered. Reading together at least 10
minutes a night for 3,218 days. It started when Ozma was in 4th grade and
continued until the day she left for college. Her father read to her every time.
Her father was a school librarian, so obviously he taught the value of reading,
but he also taught the value of reading out loud. As Ozma didn't know she was
going to write a book on The Streak, as they called it, she didn't remember
every book they read but the ones she does are listed in the back. The story
itself was more about how their reading bonded the two of them more than the
books themselves. It is a pleasant story, however the last 5 chapters or so were
my favorite - what happened after The Streak.
