<p>On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a gorgeous stack of books beneath the tree!

Episode 18: Owl At Home and Good Night Owl (Bedtime Book Series: Part 3)
<p>In this third installment of our Bedtime Book Series, we are discussing two excellent, engaging, brain-building bedtime books in tandem: Arnold Lobel’s Owl At Home and Greg Pizzoli’s Good Night Owl because one has directly influenced the other. We talk about how Greg Pizzoli found inspiration in many of the amusing scenarios, cozy illustrations, and even some of the turns of phrase that are found in Arnold Lobel’s collection of stories about his Owl. Drawing attention to the connection between books is not only interesting and fun to do as a reader, but it’s also a good way to subtly introduce your child to the concept of intertextuality. Demonstrating how stories can relate to each other helps to hone your child’s comparison skills and can also help your child later on when she is asked in school to put a work of fiction in historical, social, or literary context. It’s key for her success as a reader if your child can start seeing the interconnectivity among books, stories, and characters and start discovering how literature works early on in her reading life.</p> <p><strong>Click</strong><span class= "apple-converted-space"><strong> </strong></span><a href= "https://exquisitelyeverafter.com/episode18/"><strong>HERE</strong></a><span class="apple-converted-space"><strong> </strong></span><strong>for the TRANSCRIPT, the FULL LIST OF BOOKS mentioned in this episode, and all FREE PRINTABLES. </strong></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Click<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href= "https://motivated-trailblazer-9981.ck.page/98e3db2457"><strong>HERE</strong></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>to join our mailing list! </p> <p>Get in touch via email: christina@exquisitelyeverafter.com</p> <p>Get in touch on Instagram:<span class= "apple-converted-space"> </span><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/exquisitelyeverafter/">@exquisitelyeverafter</a></p> <p>All other information can be found in the blog post for this episode: </p> <p><a href= "https://exquisitelyeverafter.com/episode18/">https://exquisitelyeverafter.com/episode18/</a> </p> <p>If you liked this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and tell your friends!
