Review: A revolutionary book. A must read for every parent. - I finished the book a week ago and I'm under its spell. As the author said that if after finishing the book the reader rushed off to pick up a book and started reading to their child her mission would be complete so it happened to me. Both my husband and I now look for any reason to read out loud to our 4 year old daughter several times a day. Not only is the book an incredible inspiration and motivation to read to your child no matter what age they are but it's also written in a sort of spellbinding style that makes it hard to put the book down.. Throughout the chapters, the author uses beautiful and poignant quotations from her favorite books (many of which she used to read and re-read to her own children). It seems as if the Enchanted Hour is told to us by so many voices representing the human kind - the story tellers from ancient Greece to the present time. This book is a must read for every parent. It's revolutionary as it shows us that something that is so easy and accessible and totally free can make the most incredible impact on your child that will carry an effect into their adult life. And finally you'll form a unique bond that is difficult to establish in our almost virtual-reality existence or distraction and loneliness.
Review: Inspiring book! - The Enchanted Hour is an insightful and encouraging book for anyone who has a child in his/her life. With a perfect combination of her personal experience and professional research, Megan Gurdon’s beautifully written book illustrates the benefits of reading to all children. As a school librarian and mom, I am fascinated with children’s books and devoted to reading aloud. What a thrill to read this enlightening book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reading Aloud is More Important Than You Know
*by A***R on May 3, 2019*

I loved this book!! As a lifelong reader myself and one who read to my daughter all the time, this book basically confirms what I already knew but it also makes you aware of how many different ways reading aloud is important in a child's life. My daughter eventually became an English major and then a Montessori teacher. It is with extreme pleasure and joy that I now get to read aloud to my sweet grandson, who was a preemie (there is also a section in the book regarding premature babies being read to). It is fun to watch his progress as far as focus and concentration on the books as the months go by. At 7 months old, his favorite is "Baby Beluga." Thank you for a book that confirms how important reading - and especially reading aloud - is to the minds and well-being of our children and grandchildren.
