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!

I like to bring a book with me everywhere I go.

I like to read about new things and see what I don’t know.

I like to read the words and see the pictures too.

And you know what I really like?

I like to read with you!

So let’s stop for a moment, wherever we may be.

Any place is a good place for you to read to me!

Reviews

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.

This rhyming book is fun for children to listen to. It’s a fun reminder to adults that reading to children is important.
Read to Me! is just plain fun!

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!

Read to Me! is a fun book with an important message
I want to share! It has become my “go to” gift for birthdays, baby showers, teachers, new parents, grandparents and more!

Literacy and spending quality time with your child
can make a difference in our children’s lives and in
our world. Read to Me! is a delightful book with bright illustrations that is a great way to introduce the joy of reading to the youngest readers.
