Did I enjoy this book: I don’t just like this children’s book, I LOVE it! In fact, I would go so far as to say I love to read this book! The Book that I Love to Read is a phantasmagorical introduction to all the wonderful aspects of the world of reading. The Book shows children that reading can immerse you in adventures with pirates and monsters, aliens and silly sights. The colorful illustrations do wonders to bring different worlds alive on the page. I was scolded several times for turning the pages too soon because my son wasn’t done “lookin’.”
This book is written from the perspective of a young boy who talks about all the different things he likes to read about in his favorite book. It’s a great silly story for younger kids that has little learning treats hidden inside. The Book that I Love to Read has a page all about color words, and,”not just regular colors . . . the weird ones too!” There are also sections about two of my favorite (and fun) literary terms, onomatopoeia and alliteration. Each one has a bunch of silly examples that are fun to read, share, and learn about with a little one.
Some of the pages could be a bit scary (my little monster requested that we skip the pirates page), so be warned: if your child finds pirates, aliens, or monsters potentially scary, then this might not be the right book for your family.
Would I recommend it: Yes, I would certainly recommend The Book that I Love to Read. It’s a cute story that can spark imagination and creativity for both younger kids and older ones. Enjoy!

The padded hardcover book is printed on high quality stock with heavy-duty boards and padded front and back, making it keepsake quality. This book feels great in the hand and is sure to be a family favorite!
