****/4 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… 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.

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.
