How to Read a Book

Written by Kwame Alexander and Illustrated by Melissa Sweet

Summary:

How to Read a Book, a poetic and beautiful journey about the experience of reading.

Find a tree—a black tupelo or dawn redwood will do—and plant yourself.

(It’s okay if you prefer a stoop, like Langston Hughes.)

With these words, an adventure begins. Kwame Alexander’s evocative poetry and Melissa Sweet’s lush artwork come together to take readers on a sensory journey between the pages of a book.

Patron Reviews:

Summer, mom of a preschooler: My four year old loved the juicy words and the bright pictures.

Luke, third grade: This is not that great of a book! It is just a boring book! I don't have much to say!
