"Parents and grandparents shouldn't miss The Enchanted Hour."
-- James Patterson, international bestselling author

A Wall Street Journal writer's conversation-changing look at how reading aloud makes adults and children smarter, happier, healthier, more successful and more closely attached, even as technology pulls in the other direction.

A miraculous alchemy occurs when one person reads to another, transforming the simple stuff of a book, a voice, and a bit of time into complex and powerful fuel for the heart, brain, and imagination. Grounded in the latest neuroscience and behavioral research, and drawing widely from literature, The Enchanted Hour explains the dazzling cognitive and social-emotional benefits that await children, whatever their class, nationality or family background. But it's not just about bedtime stories for little kids: Reading aloud consoles, uplifts and invigorates at every age, deepening the intellectual lives and emotional well-being of teenagers and adults, too.

Meghan Cox Gurdon argues that this ancient practice is a fast-working antidote to the fractured attention spans, atomized families and unfulfilling ephemera of the tech era, helping to replenish what our devices are leaching away. For everyone, reading aloud engages the mind in complex narratives; for children, it's an irreplaceable gift that builds vocabulary, fosters imagination, and kindles a lifelong appreciation of language, stories and pictures.

Bringing together the latest scientific research, practical tips, and reading recommendations, The Enchanted Hour will both charm and galvanize, inspiring readers to share this invaluable, life-altering tradition with the people they love most.

Boyfriend liked it, however it has a weird fit
I got this for my boyfriend as he is a fan of this brand's clothes. I got him small and I am glad I did. Although it looks fantastic on him because he is him, the sweater is strangely long and has a weird tough material to it. It is not exactly soft to the touch, and it has a weird stretch. It doesn't feel like other COOFANDY brand turtlenecks he owns, so I was surprised at how stiff the material was compared to those. The color is also a bit more orange in person.

Ribbing & AComfortable Fit
I stumbled onto this brand as the sizes & sizing were very accurate. The ribbed feature is a blessing as it masks, hides, conceals stains & or body imperfections. I'm a 63 year old grandpa who greets outside in the Midwest at church 50 weeks a year. The warmth, the longer sleeve's and the high & roll up, roll down turtle neck is super cozy. The value is, it looks more expensive than it actually was, I have already ordered another in black. I am 5'8 298# with a 63 inch chest 48 inch waist fits with room to spare.
