It&#x27;s a bit of a weird question. As a parent, you do tons of stuff that is fun and good for your child and not for you. Ask a tired parent are you happy reading to your child when you&#x27;ve read them the same books over and over and they&#x27;ll answer no. Ask them a few years later when the child is reading for themselves whether they miss reading to their child and they&#x27;ll say yes.<p>My wife used to help with reading at my son&#x27;s school when he was first there. Tip for future parents - read to your child! It becomes really obvious really early which children are read to&#x2F;with and which are not.

Childrens books are awful. Yes there&#x27;s some classics you can read like once but i dont know what&#x27;s wrong.<p>I was considering even writing some better stuff. I was thinking maybe spongebob theory where you need to hide double entendres or adult humour but no.<p>The 5 minute marvel stories are probably the worse of them.<p>I never really figured out what needs to be improved.
