“Shefinished the wholeHarry Potterseries, so she’s kind of done with fantasy and wizards for now and is really more into grounded fiction. I actually just went to the library with her and helped her pick out a lot more like that.”
“They’re so good because they take a series that we were obsessed with growing up and updated it a little bit and made it more manageable to get into as an earlier reader."
When it comes to her little guy, 4½-year-oldHal, Bush Hager said he loves to read with her but doesn’t always make it easy.
“He plays this really fun game, because he knows I love the books that are basically about how much a mom loves their child, the sweet ones that are more for parents than they are for kids. So he’s always like, ‘Guess what we’re gonna read tonight, Mommy?’ And then he’ll pick and it sort of depends on his mood, if he wants to terrorize me or not,” she laughed.
“Sometimes he’s like, ‘We’re gonna readOn the Night You Were Born,Mommy!’ and then sometimes he’ll sort of dangle it over me and then say, ‘Not tonight, Mommy!’ which is hilarious and it works every time.”
