C really likes to “interact” with books. When he reads Madeleine and the Cats of Rome, he wants to hold his little plastic toy cat in his mouth like the dog does on page 20 of the book; when he reads the Nature Conservancy magazine with the picture of a vole eating a strawberry, he wants to do the same; when he reads Inside Lacrosse, he needs to hold his stick; and when he watches Sesame Street (which is not reading, I realize) he has to hold an Elmo doll. Way to get into it C.
