I'm about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it's ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I'm looking forward to moving on to Stephen King's The Stand.

Parents of young children read children's books to children, and this all well and good, but before this there is a special, magical time where parents of especially young children get to read whatever books they fancy to the child. Especially young children still love being read to, still get all the same benefits of learning phonemes and word splitting, and were never going to follow the story no matter how simple, so you just get to read whatever you wanted to read anyway & it doubles as child storytime.
