Whether you choose to take on this challenge or take it one book at a time, remember how important it is to read with your children. We've all heard the statistics about how children who are read to do better in school. This is wonderful, but the true benefit is the quality time they get to spend with you. I'm sure my kids won't remember the titles of every book we read, but they will remember being snuggled up on the couch with mommy and knowing they were worth my time. Here's to the next 100 books!
