I LOVE reading. It is one of my favorite activities. When I was a teen, I read to my sisters (10 and 13 years younger than me) when they were little... I read to my 4 kids when they were little too. My family tells me that listening to me reading is such a fun time because I get so into the characters, and apparently I am good at it. :) I am now an audiobook narrator, and having a blast! 

Parents are so busy right now, with the ever growing *to do lists* . There are seriously not enough hours in the day! SO, I wanted to help out with one simple activity. I want to read to your kiddo!

When she steals a house-shaped ornament from a mysterious woman’s purse, she knocks on its tiny door and watches it grow into a huge, higgledy-piggeldy house. Inside she finds a host of magical and brilliantly funny characters, including Flabberghast – a young wizard who’s particularly competitive at hopscotch – and a hideous troll housekeeper who’s emotionally attached to his feather duster. They have been placed under an extraordinary spell, which they are desperate for Nine to break – and if she can, maybe they can offer her a new life in return…"
