CLOSEDBaker's Dozen: Movies Where A Parent or Family Member Reads a Book to a Child

It’s something that happens every day, all around the world. And it has made for some very memorable movie scenes. No TV shows (sorry Sesame Street fans) or TV movies. Starting off with a classic that I’m sure ColumboKate would appreciate…

1. The Princess Bride (1987)

One of my all time favorites. And I love that in one scene Scout is reading to Atticus. Think it's Robinson Crusoe.
