The Book No One Wants to Read

Is your child a reluctant reader? Going so far as to say “I hate reading!”? If so, then believe me, this is a book you need in your library!

Interactive and funny, The Book No One Wants to Read talks to the young readers and brings itself to life as it occupies their “reading time”. They'll be able to relate to it and feel as if they're playing with a friend when it tells them that they should “pretend to read” while they are actually completing some of the challenges and games that are included in the book (but seriously, they really ARE READING!) The illustrations are simple and easy to connect with what the book is saying and it's also easy to read for beginning and intermediate readers.

Because this is a book that is written to encourage children to read on their own, I wouldn't recommend it as a group read aloud. Also, there are two mentions of the word “butt”, complete with an illustration, that some parents may not be pleased with, as it does encourage the child to “wiggle your butt (but not too much! People will definitely think you're not reading!)”.

Overall, I think this is a great book for parents of new readers to have on their shelves and I give it a full 5 out of 5 stars!
