Floating down to Camelot

I think it's great when parents (and teachers) read from something they genuinely love themselves. Even if the child ends up not taking to the book itself, simply seeing an adult they look up to enthusing about reading teaches a great messages. Enthusiasm can be really catching. I remember my whole class frequently being swept away by our teacher's enthusiasms, whether for books or other things (which is one concern I have with the National Curriculum, since it doesn't allow teachers to do this in the same way.)
