This is not a children’s book, but I found it in the junior section of the library. It’s been on my to-read list for years, ever since I saw the Quentin Blake illustrated poster of Daniel Pennac’s 10 rules for readers; “The rights of the reader”.
Well the book is a rollercoaster. I looked over at my 4 and 8 year old while a read the first section, and regretted every time I deferred reading to them until later. When would be the last time they would take a picture book out and ask “Mammy, would you read this book to me?” When would the intimacy of those precious moments be lost forever?
I think if you never go beyond the illustrated poster you will be okay. You might just give yourself and the kids and young people in your life a break and allow reading for the pure joy of it.
But if you read this book, you may be pleasantly surprised and enjoy Pennac’s approach, humour and insights.

Nadie nos enseña porque leer, y luego de este libro, no creo que sea fundamental. Sin embargo, como lo explica el libro, creo que es algo hermoso poder hacerlo. Leer no debe ser una obligación a tabla, más bien, una historia en la que encontramos refugio. Me reconfortó leerlo.

Il primo libro che ho letto di Pennac... ed è stato amore a prima vista! Non è un romanzo, ma si lascia leggere esattamente come se lo fosse :)

I'm going to call this one read, even though I haven't quite finished it! I am an aspiring librarian with a love of reading, so this book was perfect for me! I lamented with the author about the decline of reading and felt inspired by his "Rights of the Reader". This is a book that I will be referring back to, even though I found some of the French literature references to be a bit confusing. Quentin Blake's accompanying illustrations are adorable.

A book everyone should read!!!
It teaches us how to relate in the right way with books and most important it teaches us how to approach children (and more in general whoever doesn't like to read) to books and the love of reading!!
