- Bedtime stories
One of the parential duties I take quite serious is bed time story reading. Serious because it is so much fun. Unfortunately traveling all over Asia Pacific makes progress sometimes slow. We started with picture books, small stories that fit onto a few pages and on to whole books that took quite a while to digest. We digested a few classics like "fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm" and "The Thousand Nights and One Night" as well as some more special stuff. In no particular order this is what we read until today:
What do you read to your kids?

"Good Omens" was a fabulous book, but as Nathan said, it is a bit mature. Certainly worth reading for yourself at least.
