In addition to her work as the host of “Jeopardy!” and in her sitcom, “Call Me Kat,” Mayim Bialik has another very important job in her life. That, of course, is the role of mother to her two children.
And like many parents, the 45-year-old star enjoys reading to her children. And like most parents, Bialik prefers reading some books more than others. Turns out, one of her favorite book series is one she loved as a child.
