We're not getting a babysitter- we're taking our five-year-old along with us!

Should I be admitting that in public? :) I love this book as well and have my copy on my shelf to hopefully read to youngsters one day. When I was at my sister's a few weeks ago I sneaked into the nursery and read this to my niece. I think she liked it a lot--even though she's only 6 months old. :) I cry everytime I see this preview.

I don't think I ever read it to either of my girls though. I will get on that though! Okay... I won't read it to my 15yo, but I will LET her read when we borrow it from the library. =) I remember reading it as little kid. I don’t think I ever read it to either of my girls though.

When I was the right age for it, though, my reading was largely left up to my parents so I didn't really choose whether to read it or not! I should now, though...

I am looking forward to the movie. It's whimsy suits me lol. I've given up trying to understand the why behind book banning. It really makes no sense more times than not. I'll never ever forget hearing about the banning of Farenheit 451 because the Bible is burned it. Bit ironic?

I totally want to see this movie just b/c of that song lol. I remember when the trailer first came out and all i could think was Wow, they look just like the book from what I could remember when I read this book when i was young. i am so addicted to this trailer because of the song played…Wake Up by Arcade Fire.

As my cousin pointed out, it doesn't really even have that many words! Couldn’t figure out why this one is on the list. As my cousin pointed out, it doesn’t really even have that many words!
