You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Fables to Read Together
The fifth entry in the You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You series repeats the earlier books’ winning formula: text in two columns and two colors, set off to clearly delineate how to break up the stories to be shared by two readers out loud. This time, fables are featured, some commonly known (“The Hare and the Tortoise”) and others less familiar (“The Peacock and the Crane”). All are retold simply and engagingly and are illustrated with lively spot illustrations. Best for children who are already comfortable reading out loud, this would work as well with two young readers as it would with a child and an adult. Grades 1-4. --Diane Foote
