Bone: My daughter's first book review

So I brought home the 1300 page tome that is the Bone complete series.  I was reading it when my daughter sat down beside me and asked me what it was about.  I told her and then started reading it out loud.  I often do this with my books as long as they are not too graphic.  Usually she loses interest after a couple of sentences.  With bone it was different.  She started asking questions.  She really got into it and I read the first couple hundered of pages to her that day.  Any time I had any free time over the next couple of weeks she would sit the book in my lap and listen. 

When I finished the book, I decided I would record her doing the review.  Being almost 6, I knew she wouldn't be able to do it without an interview.  So here is the interview book review by my 5 year old daughter for Jeff Smith's Bone.  Hope you enjoy and I will read your comments to her.

I had this book in my had last week, while I was shopping for some friends, then put it back because I didn't want to be buying myself anything just before xmas. Now, having heard this awesome review, I will be going to my comic shop on Tuesday when I get back into town and buying it post haste *grin* That was a treat, Budd, thanks for sharing!

no problem, I enjoyed doing it. The worst part about reading it outloud is that it slowed it way down for me. I couldn't read it when I wanted to and I had to explain some things. I will let Ashli know that her review sold a book.
