"It is our hope that Read Me a Book will help you and your child start on a lifelong tradition of reading together. It's a great way not only for your child to learn to read, but a valuable chance for you to spend time and learn about your child during these crucial first years of life."

"Tell me a story, Read me a book, Bounce me a poem, Let's take a look... As very young children move from board books to regular picture books, one of the first they should encounter should be Read Me a Book... Small details abound so that, for example, the little child who is bringing her grandfather a book for "tell it one more time," gives him that well-loved volume whose is torn and whose pages are dog-eared. The loving comfort of the child / parent / adult connection resonates throughout the illustrations in this slim volume... Because early years teachers know how important children's preschool experiences with books are in terms of their later success in learning how to read, teachers and teacher-librarians should take the lead in promoting this book in their communities. Highly recommended."
