Illustrated by
Ryan O'Rourke.
This collection of twenty-three poems celebrates all kinds of reading, from a new reader understanding "letters make words" to reading for pleasure by flashlight. With a gently varying meter, the poems are read-aloud perfect; the bright digital illustrations are a pleasing accompaniment. Standouts include "Stories," in which a girl learns about grief from
Charlotte's Web, and a grandpa's gift of a poem in "Birthday Card."
