I can't find the option for "Read to child" anywhere?

Not all books can be read to children. Usually I just keep clicking them all until I find one that has the read to child option.

oh! So maybe its the one's that are "meant" to be for kids then? Like I know there are some books that are for kids in the shelf!

Sharonia may be right, try a "Childrens" book. Also consider (if the properly equipped bookcase does not work) bringing the book into your Sims inventory and trying from there. Now that you post this, I seem to remember it being a slightly 'tricky' task. Did hovering over the aspiration thing bring up any useful details/hints?

Yeah, book has to be in your sim's inventory. Which is not intuitive at all.

Actually, I've done it by opening up the bookshelf inventory and going from there! But yeah, it's a bit of an annoying one to complete.

I actually think that I have been able to read to a child by clicking on the bed. Hm... not sure if it was a child or toddler... and it's been a while ago anyway, so many patches might have changed it. I never tried to read to a child unless they were in bed though, is that what you want to do?

I have that option for toddlers by clicking on the bed. Also, highlighting the toddler and having the toddler click on the butler.
