Where the monsters live




I don't like spending a lot of time in the car. I feel it is a waste of time. I use to have to drive my daughter 20minutes to her daycare/school that's one way. It bothered me that we spent 40 minutes in the car when we could be spending that time together or she could be at home playing. I am sure I am not the only person that dislikes spending so much of their time in their car, driving places.
However, today was different. Today the time in the car on the way to school was well worth it! On the way to Luna's school, she read me a book! Well she doesnt' read yet, but she has memorized the majority of the book "Where the Monsters Live" The book is in spanish so of course she told me the story in spanish and she didn't miss too much. I was very impressed that she also remembered the part that is a play on words and a bit difficult. It is also in the present tense! When Max is leaving the mosters say,


"no te vayas te comeremos, en verdad te queremos. Which is

"don't go we will eat you, really, we love you. The two words in spanish sound similar.

In short I truly enjoyed hearing the story and it was time well spent in the car. I am looking forward to hearing more stories on the way to school!
