Kaye Umansky, a children's writer/former teacher says,

"Because I know the power of reading aloud, I tend to base my sessions on that. I read out my daftest poems and extracts from my novels. I  regale them with silly songs,  sometimes quite loudly. I suspect that some people may find me annoying. But the fact is, I just want the kids to go home smiling."

What a rock star!
