“When I want to read,
what I really, really need,
is a place to sit . . .
just for a bit.
Somewhere comfy, NOT itchy-fuzzy, somewhere quiet, NOT buzz-buzzy.”
The little reader in this book is having a hard time finding the ideal reading spot. Everywhere has noise, or smells, or is too hot or cold . . . and our reader finds himself with lots of company in each reading spot he considers.
But soon we discover the truth about reading books: A book is best anywhere . . . a book is best when you SHARE.
Join one small book lover’s search for the perfect place to read in this beautifully illustrated picture book by the talented Leigh Hodgkinson.
When this little boy wants to read, he has to find just the right place. After searching high and searching low, he realises that a great book can be enjoyed just about anywhere, especially if you have someone special to share it with.
Leigh Hodgkinson’s simple text is appealing, but it’s her incredible illustrations that really make this sweet little book so very delightful!
What a fun story to share at a story time! This would be a great pairing with You Can Read by Helaine Becker and Mark Hoffman, another fun picture book that shares all sorts of fun and unusual places where you can read.
With its simple text and fun, unusual illustrations, A Place to Read is sure to appeal to little bookworms everywhere.
