Preparation
Rule #1: Have fun!
Rule #2: There are no rules! (Other than those specified in our 46 page contract) Kidding.
Rule #3: Be a kid again. Be goofy. Make faces. Laugh - even at your own' mistakes.' A hundred years from now - they'll think all grown-ups were like that.
OK, enough with the rules.
You can go to the library to help in your choice of books - but you must buy the books you are to read from - that's only fair to the author.
Practice! (see the Reading Tips pdf)
Write your own history - complete with family photos. Good for older children.
Get everyone involved - except for those who's gift this will be.
Wouldn't it be nice to do a strictly Christmas or Haneka production? What a nice new family tradition!
Or a series of Biblical stories?
Or your own children's story? Published or not.
I'm sure you will have more ideas. Be creative
