Where's the best place
to read a book?

The children in this bright
and bold picture book
proclaim that any place
is a good place to share
a story. And colorful collages
featuring delightful cut
outs made by children in
a collaborative art project
illustrate that there is no
end to the places that are just right for reading.

With light-hearted rhyme and repetition, Read to Me!
will captivate children and remind grownups that the magic of reading can happen here, there and everywhere!

Schema: hearing a book read aloud

This is one of those special books that a parent or caregiver will never tire of re-reading aloud to little ones. Rhyming text will have your listeners memorizing the book and saying it with you quickly.

Children love to share in reading a predictive text with
a repetitive phrase. The phrase “read to me,” will give young readers a part of the story that they can say with you each time. The idea that reading can take place anywhere we are is shown as the author shows reading taking place at home in a chair, on the floor, in between chores such as cooking and laundry, outdoors, in the
car, on a boat, traveling, at the park, in the bath tub,
and in bed. Each page is brightly illustrated in
collage art.

Tips for parents about the importance of reading to a child are included. This book would be a great gift for new parents.

What a great book for kindergarten teachers!
I received this book as a gift and have used it to
promote creativity and excitement in reading at the beginning of the school year in my classroom! The children love reporting about the new places they have read a book!

I also use it for a writing prompt. Each child chooses their favorite place to read and writes and illustrates a page for our class book! It inspires kids to find fun and joy as they read in their regular everyday life! Thanks Chris for the wonderful resource! EVERY kindergarten teacher needs this book!
