Another great anthologie from Janet Shulman

We love the 20th Century Children's Book Collection (perfect for our 4-year-old) and just added this to our book collection. This is a tad on the 'older' side - not as many pictures with the stories and they are longer. We read from it but will probably enjoy it a little more in the next few years. The stories are great and many you would probably not read if not for being included in this collection. It's like having 40 books in 1. I wish Janet Schulman would do more of these collections.

Title and Grade Level May Mislead Some Buyers

This book is delightful for the right age or skill-level reader. Please don't expect the child to read back to you until the child is about 8-10. Through hearing an older skilled reader share the stories, the child will love them ; however, in most cases the child will not easily be able to read back until grades 3 or 4. Read enough sample pages to judge for the child you have in mind.

Great Book

I found this book on the sale table at my local Border's Book Store and though it might be fun to read to my soon who was 4 - 1/2 at the time. We both enjoyed the stories and I have read some of them by myself. My favorite is The True Story of The Three Little Pigs. As a budding stand up comic I have always found that there is a lot of fun and laughs in fairy tales and this story proves it. My son likes the longer stories and if it is to long we do it over two nights. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys reading to their kids and it also helps with children learing new words and works on their attention span.

You Read to Me and I'll Read to You

When the child is familiar with the nursery rhymes, and has repeated them over and over until they are really familiar, this book provides a delightful way of creating drama out of them. Two people reading them., and enjoying the reading, can introduce drama and put a completely different slant on the familiar rhymes, extending the meaning, and extending their usefulness.
Very refreshing, with or without a classroom application.

An anthology with sure-fire appeal for children who are starting to read on their own but still enjoy being read to. This brilliant collection by the editor of The 20th Century Children?s Book Treasury contains 26 selections for parents and children to read aloud. Including works by such illustrious authors and artists as Maurice Sendak, James Marshall, Judy Blume, Ursula Le Guin, William Steig, and Roald Dahl, the selections range from the humorous to the magical to the contemporary to the just plain silly. The text of each selection is included in full. You Read to Me & I?ll Read to You is a must-have book for all families who want to inspire their children to develop a lifelong love of reading.
