Review

How to Read a Book is a colorful explosion of wonder as Kwame and Sweet pair words and pictures to encourage children to read. Comparing reading to things that children are familiar with like trees, clementines, and of course, parties, How to Read a Book showcases how wonderful the world of reading actually is. Sweet’s illustrations add to the wonder with bold, vibrant colors and expertly layered collages that grab your attention and make you feel as though you are exploring a new world. How to Read a Book would be excellent for a parent, teacher, or librarian to use to get children excited about reading. Recommended Ashley Riddle, Centennial Library Intern, Cedarville University
