Using A Bookcase

To do it from abookcase, you must first buy one if you do not have any. We recommend you buy a bookcase if you plan on having a larger collection of books.

Once you have one, you need to click on it and select“Open.”You will then see an item inventory,select the children’s book you want to readto the child, and then select“Read to Child.”

It’s important to mention thatthis option only appears for children’s books only, so make sure you have one or many in your bookcase.You can easily purchase them by selecting the bookcaseand then“Purchase Books.”

Find children’s booksto purchase selecting the “Children’s” category after selecting“Purchase Books.”

Using a Computer

To do it by ordering a book from a computer, simplygo to the computerand select“More Choices,”then“Order,”and finally“Purchase Books.”Pick the children’s book you like the most, and buy it. It will automatically appear in your inventory. From there, you just have toselect the book from the inventoryand then“Read to Child.”

It’s important to mention that, both the Successful Lineage Aspiration and the Big Happy Family Aspirationwilltake two hours of reading to achieve. It will take youjust about two books per aspiration, since a single book won’t last two hours.

Just repeat the process a couple of times and it will be done. After all, you already know how to do it!
