From the publisher

A New York Times bestseller! This collection of stories from former children’s poet laureate Mary Ann Hoberman provides endless read-aloud fun. Here’s a book with something new–you read to me! I’ll read to you! We’ll read each page to one another–you’ll read one side, I the other. The first in the award-winning You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You series, this unique book “in two voices” uses traditional reading teaching techniques (alliteration, rhyme, repetition, short sentences) to invite young children to read along with an adult. Each of the twelve short stories fits on one spread and features child-friendly themes such as family, friendship, pets, and seasons. With clear, color-coded typography and delightful illustrations, this collection is sure to entertain.
