Lovely illustrations. Gender specific to boys - why can’t a boy like dolls? Lots of colours and cool pictures to drive the imagination.

I really loved this silly, fun book. I always love books about books and reading, but this one was a horse of a different color. It was engaging and challenging in a way I think most kids will enjoy.

Did I enjoy this book: I don’t just like this children’s book, I LOVE it! In fact, I would go so far as to say I love to read this book! The Book that I Love to Read is a phantasmagorical introduction to all the wonderful aspects of the world of reading. The Book shows children that reading can immerse you in adventures with pirates and monsters, aliens and silly sights. The colorful illustrations do wonders to bring different worlds alive on the page. I was scolded several times for turning the pages too soon because my son wasn’t done “lookin’.”

This book is written from the perspective of a young boy who talks about all the different things he likes to read about in his favorite book. It’s a great silly story for younger kids that has little learning treats hidden inside. The Book that I Love to Read has a page all about color words, and,”not just regular colors . . . the weird ones too!” There are also sections about two of my favorite (and fun) literary terms, onomatopoeia and alliteration. Each one has a bunch of silly examples that are fun to read, share, and learn about with a little one.

Some of the pages could be a bit scary (my little monster requested that we skip the pirates page), so be warned: if your child finds pirates, aliens, or monsters potentially scary, then this might not be the right book for your family.

Would I recommend it: Yes, I would certainly recommend The Book that I Love to Read. It’s a cute story that can spark imagination and creativity for both younger kids and older ones. Enjoy!

Entertaining book, targeted primarily for boys that describes different kinds of themes and types of stories. I like that it offers a short grammar lesson about things like onomatopoeia and alliteration. The illustrations are colorful and the narrative has a conversational tone. It's probably best suited for an independent read.
