I LOVE this idea. As an educator, I think it is a great way for children (especially those with a learning disability) to learn how to feel confident and comfortable as a reader! I think the book I saw at Borders was actually geared towards children. Anything that gets children reading is a good thing.
Hey, if other people are reading to their dogs maybe I'll give it a try.
