Helpful Score: 4

I thought this was an excellent book in support of reading aloud. It dealt not so much with the books that Alice and her father read, but more about the relationship that grew from "The Streak". The author's sense of humor comes through her recounting of the life she had with her single-dad and sister. As a mom who read aloud to her children nightly, I'm a strong proponent of this activity and all it's positive side-effects. My children are all readers, and I'm so proud to have given them this gift of reading aloud and spread the love of reading to them. I'm going to pick some of the books included in Alice's reading list at the end of the book and read them now.
