watch the president read

President Obama read Where the Wild Things Are to children at the White House egg roll. OK, so maybe there are better Easter picture books, but it's one of the best read-alouds of all time, and he looks like he had fun doing it. What a great moment!

    I saw this on the plane but didn't have audio so I didn't know what he was reading! thanks for posting this.

    Great video-he does a great job improvising with the kids.

    One of my favorite books too. Maybe next year someone can get him a Big Book copy of what he plans to read.
