A lively ode to reading celebrates the many forms reading takes, from reading clocks and train schedules to reading facial expressions and books, and follows the observations of a little boy who also notes the myriad places where reading occurs, from park benches to bathtubs. - Baker & Taylor
A young boy shows how those around him read and become immersed in what moves them. - Baker & Taylor
"Mom reads. Dad reads. And I read, too!" As a young boy revels in learning to read on his own, he begins to notice that reading is all around him ... and not all of it is in books. There is his aunt who makes stories out of sound when she reads her sheetmusic. There is the tourist who reads the time on his watch while waiting for a train. There is the doctor who reads a thermometer. And the fisherman who reads the weather in the sky above him. The only ones not reading are the boy's pets -- and how silly they seem to miss out! - Perseus PublishingReading takes many forms. Some of us read novels, while others read cookbooks, sheet music, tarot cards, or even the stars in the sky. We read clocks, train schedules, and facial expressions. In this ode to reading, each form is lovely and worth celebrating. Mom, Dad, Our Books, and Me follows a young boy and those around him â parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and neighbors â as they all read, immersed in what moves them.
Vibrant, whimsical paper collage artwork depicts the colors and textures of the many places in which we read, from hammocks and bubble baths to park benches and waiting rooms. The diverse cityscapes and landscapes often include fanciful elements of imagination.
Mom, Dad, Our Books, and Me will leave young readers reveling in this newfound or soon-to-come skill that sparks new adventures and brings people together.
