Description

"Introducing You Read to Me & I'll Read to You, a remarkable collection of illustrated stories for parents to share with new readers. Janet Schulman, editor of the bestselling 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury, has compiled this companion volume as a next step for children who are now beginning to read.

With stores from both renowned children's book creators and dazzling newcomers, this collection celebrates the joy and importance of reading aloud to children, even after they've learned to read on their own. The 26 selections, among the best from the 20th century, feature original illustrations, unabridged text, and an open, inviting design. From picture books to short novels, from poignant to magical to just plain silly, the stories have been carefully chosen for broad appeal, accessibility, and high literary quality.

A bright and irresistible invitation to reading, You Read to Me & I'll Read to You will inspire a love of reading - and reading aloud - in children and parents alike." [from inside front flap]
