Bookroo's summary
Embark on a journey to become a reader. Start with a story, find a cozy spot, and share the adventure with a friend. As pages turn, predictions unfold, and the end becomes a new beginning. This playful picture book captures the magic of discovering a love for reading, where every conclusion sparks a fresh start. Will you find the story that changes everything?
From the publisher
Step One: Find a story. (A good one.) Step Two: Find a reading buddy. (Someone nice.) Step Three: Find a reading spot. (Couches are cozy.) Now: Begin. Accomplished storytellers Kate Messner and Mark Siegel chronicle the process of becoming a reader: from pulling a book off the shelf and finding someone with whom to share a story, to reading aloud, predicting what will happen, and—finally—coming to The End. This picture book playfully and movingly illustrates the idea that the reader who discovers the love of reading finds, at the end, the beginning.
