“We read to our daughter every night and multiple times during the day. One of her favorite things is to go to the Library and come home to show our two dogs her books she sits with them to show them the pictures, they sit patiently and wait for her to turn the pages 🩷

That sounds so sweet! Your daughter must love her reading time with both you and the dogs – it's wonderful how books can bring the whole family together! - Danielle 😊
