Ezra Jack Keats

The best thing about reading to your kids is the literature. Ezra Jack Keats beautiful urban landscapes and gentle prose are some of my favorites. My 5 year old son loves to read these stories, and I love to read them to him, especially the Spanish translations. Since the vocabulary is kindergarten level, I can read them fluently. When I don't get flustered, I have a pretty good accent. It's always fun when we are at the public library to see people taking surreptitious glances at the gringa reading Spanish storybooks to her kids.
