READING MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD
Parr, Todd
2005 42438 From Our Editors Todd Parr, the author of The Peace Book, The Daddy Book, and It's Okay to Be Different, has crafted another affirmation for young readers. Reading Makes You Feel Good delivers a message that will resonate with every parent and bookseller. As usual, Parr treats readers to an inviting array of funny signs, labels, and hidden pictures. From the Publisher In Todd Parr's world, reading isn't something that just happens at school or at home-it can happen anywhere! In his trademark bright, bold pictures, Todd shows us all the fun ways we can read-from in the library and in bed to in the bathtub and on the road. Children are invited to read the main text as well as all the funny signs, labels, and messages hidden in the pictures. From The Critics Publishers Weekly And Parr sings the praises of books in Reading Makes You Feel Good. In his signature bold colors, he shows that reading can take you to faraway places, help you learn to make pizza-and you can do it anywhere. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information. Children's Literature - Judy Hijikata Readers will recognize Parr's signature bold colors and style in this celebration of reading. His illustrations work to present and reinforce the message that reading is an achievable and rewarding task. Parr takes pains to provide positive reinforcement for early literacy tasks-the alphabet is on the wall, signs and labels are part of the illustrations, and there is a message of encouragement from the author at the end. The one line per page text, however, is confusing. His repeated phrase "reading makes you feel good because" sets up the expectation for parallel structure, but the phrases that follow do not move in that direction. In fact, they often are not about how the reader feels at all. Such reservations aside, this book is an effective read-aloud for preschool through first grade, when children are doing the hard work of learning to read. The large format spreads drenched in rich, contrasting colors make this a great read-aloud choice. 2005, Megan Tingley Books/Little Brown, Ages 2 to 5.
