Imagination Makes the Daily Routine More Fun!
Researchers constantly find that reading to children is valuable in a variety of ways, not least of which are instilling a love of reading and improved reading skills. With better parent-child bonding from reading, your child will also be more emotionally secure and able to relate better to others. Intellectual performance will expand as well. Spending time together watching television fails as a substitute.

To help other parents apply this advice, as a parent of four I consulted an expert, our youngest child, and asked her to share with me her favorite books that were read to her as a young child. Make Believe with the Muppet Babies -- A Storybook was one of her picks.

The delightful book has three stories in it, each featuring one of the Muppet babies.In the first, Beyond the Broccoli Forest, Baby Piggy is getting ready for lunch.She has a plate of steaming broccoli, something she had enjoyed the day before.But today, well, she would like something else.Their Nanny has just served all the babies and they are told to eat up everything.Baby Piggy decides to pretend she is very small and wander amongst the food.During her game, she shares food with the other Muppet babies so each gets more variety.Soon, they have finished and everyone enjoys chocolate pudding for dessert.

In the second story, In Search of the Great White Soap, it is time for the nightly bath.Baby Kermit goes last.He likes his bath.He gets in with a new bar of soap and his toys and starts having a ball.But he loses the soap, and plays an adventure game of searching for it.Eventually the soap is totally melted, and Nanny tells him he is clean and should come out now.

In the third story, Baby Fozzie's Wish, Baby Fozzie gets his wish at bedtime to become the world's funniest bear.Soon, he is tired of this game and wants to go to sleep, but his audience won't let him alone.The Wish Fairy grants him a second wish to undo the first wish, and he is soon fast asleep.

One of the things I always liked about this book is that it encourages children to see life as a great adventure, full of daring and fun.The book also gives them a lot of control over this adventure, and sets physical limits without any mental ones.

Now, if your family is like most, you don't have a Nanny.Why would you want to read a book about one?That's part of the fun.Just like Peter Pan and Nana, you and your child can pretend you have a Nanny.(Of course, if you do have a Nanny, the Nanny will love being included in a bedtime book.)Or Mom and Dad can have fun pretending to be Nanny, just while reading this book.I used to try my "female" voice to make reading the book funnier for our daughter.

Many children enjoy having pretend experiences, and this book puts that in the most positive light possible.With that experience, future play can be positive as well.

After you and your child have finished enjoying this book, I encourage you to come up with your own stories about pretend games involving other daily activities.Brushing hair or teeth are possibilities, as is getting dressed in the morning.You'll enjoy being a parent more, and be a better one, if you have more fun with your child in this way.

Light up the day and night with imagination!
