The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared de Alice Ozma

The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared

Autor Alice Ozma
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2012
When Alice Ozma was in 4th grade, she and her father decided to see if he could read aloud to her for 100 consecutive nights. On the hundreth night, they shared pancakes to celebrate, but it soon became evident that neither wanted to let go of their storytelling ritual. So they decided to continue what they called "The Streak." Alice's father read aloud to her every night without fail until the day she left for college.

Alice approaches her book as a series of vignettes about her relationship with her father and the life lessons learned from the books he read to her.

Books included in the Streak were:Great Expectationsby Charles Dickens, the Oz books by L. Frank Baum,Harry Potterby J. K. Rowling,Alice's Adventures in Wonderlandby Lewis Carroll, and Shakespeare's plays.

Recenzii

"Clearly fabulous for libraries everywhere... My Pick." -Library Journal
"Alice Ozma has given us the gift of a remarkable love story. In her love of books, and of her father, we see the most-meaningful promises we might make to our own parents, our own children, and to ourselves." -Jeffrey Zaslow, coauthor,The Last Lecture
"Tender, funny, and deeply readable, THE READING PROMISE tells the story of how a simple ritual became a treasured father-daughter tradition. Promise yourself to revisit what matters...promise you'll pick up this tribute to the ways in which books change lives." - Erin Blakemore, author ofThe Heroine's Bookshelf
This is about so much more than books and reading. It's about single-parenthood and childhood, about raising a loving, witty, articulate kid, and all of it accomplished without anyone turning into the Alpha-Parent/Tiger-Dad. -Jim Trelease, author ofThe Read-Aloud Handbook
"THE READING PROMISE is a powerful testament to the difference a parent's devotion and the act of reading can make in a child's life. A rare and triumphant story." - Chris Gardner, #1New York Timesbestselling author ofThe Pursuit of Happyness
