Trapp Family Singers
A while back Molly & I read together The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, by Maria Augusta Trapp. We enjoyed the book, although we didn't get to finish it because it was due back to the library. I hope we can find it again and read it in its entirety! Here is an excerp after the family started reading the Bible together six weeks before Easter, Maria says: The reading of the Gospels together proved to be wonderful. It proved to be the Book of Books, the only one in the whole world to which a four-year-old girl would listen with enraptured interest, while all the philosophers are not yet able to get to the bottom of its divine wisdom.

I love that book!
We actually got to meet Maria, the daughter a couple of years ago. She is delightful and has an amazing story!
