I read this story quick at ALAMW, but didn't have the chance to dive into it until now.
I love this story!
I promise, from here on out, to begin every school year with this book.
Thank you, Kate Messner for writing this gem of a picture book!

This is the most fabulous charmingly delightful picture book about reading and stories! I can already predict this will become a beginning of the year read aloud in classrooms everywhere. Younger and older kids (and adults) will all appreciate the premise and way it is executed. I couldn't help but smile as I read it and the advice it gives about reading a story and appreciating it with others. I absolutely adore it and the format along with the references to the book within the book and the illustrations are spot on for being as entertaining as the story. I'm not only adding this book to my first week of school/launching the reading workshop read aloud lists, but also my baby shower gifting list.

Loved this guide for kids, especially since it reassures them that this is a challenge to find the 'right book' sometimes!
