You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Fairy Tales to Read Together | Mary Ann Hoberman

4 posts | 2 read

From New York Times best-selling author and Children's Poet Laureate Mary Ann Hoberman comes a new collection of fresh read-aloud takes on eight favorite fairy tales, including "The Three Bears," "Cinderella," and "Little Red Riding Hood." Designed with emerging readers in mind, each of the tales is told in short rhyming dialogues--with each character's lines indicated by a different color-to be used as a script for two voices to read separately and together. Using traditional reading teaching techniques like alliteration, rhyme, repetition, and short sentences), the text invites young children to read along, while Michael Emberley's lively illustrations enhance the stories' humor and high spirits. Goldilocks, the Little Red Hen, the Three Little Pigs, and many more beloved characters star in these tales-with-a-twist that are perfect for early and reluctant readers, readers' theater, and bedtime fun. A 2005 Notable Children's Book in the Language Arts by the Children's Literature Assembly of the National Council of Teacher of English. Also chosen as a 2004 Gryphon Award Honor Book by the Center for Children's Books.

You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Fairy Tales to Read Together | Mary Ann Hoberman

I really enjoyed this book. Although there is not a common theme throughout the book other than all of the readings being poems, I think that it gives a great background and look onto how poems sound and what they look like. Aside from that, I love that one is able to have a partner during the reading.
Not only do I like this book for those purposes, I also like the illustrations throughout. They are not too complex and are able to tell the story.

em_lemo The picture inserted above was my favorite poem from this book. It is called the Princess and the Pea. Within the story, my favorite poem was...
“And every time I look at you,
I'll think about our story too.“
The story was very rhythmic and had a great lesson and storyline to it. This book was published in 2004. 5y
