My daughter Sydney (age 8) enjoyed listening to you read! 🙂 She would like you to read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. She was happy when she learned that because you read her a book, she can put that on her list of books that she read or had read to her. 🙂 Her school gives a plastic charm for each 8 books that she reads. Thank you!
Hey Sydney!
I’m going to ask my nephews if they have that book so I can read it to you!
How cool that you get to add it to your list! I hope you get lots and lots of charms!
Be sure and click on some of the other books above because I’d love to read more to you!
Gratefully,
Christy
Loved Tacky the Penguin! Sometimes being the odd bird isn’t such a bad thing afterall. 🙂
Thank you so much Wendy! Let’s hear it for the odd birds!
I liked the story, however I have a question. Why are doing Storytime? I am a little confused.
BTW…I love Click, Clack, Moo — Cows that Type. Great story!
Hey Lisa! I’m afraid I don’t understand your question, maybe it’s missing a word? Be sure and check out Pete the cat! It’s one of my favorites 🙂

Hi Christy,
Sorry, I was typing too fast!
Why are you reading children’s books on your website? Do you have a partnership with a reading foundation? Or is it via your publishing company? I like the idea of reading to children, but don’t see the connection. Thanks!
Nope, no partnership and no relationship with a publisher or anything. I just like to read books to kids and I pay the light bill 🙂 ~giggle~
When I started Southern Plate I just decided it would be all about what’s on my “plate” and as a mom, that pretty much entails everything, lol.
Gratefully,
Christy
P.S. The kids like it too! 🙂
My little girl loves your story time videos! Thank you so much for doing them!!!
Oh thank you so much, Kelly! I really love getting to hang out with the kids here!
