Students who are early readers will pick up this book because it is so colorful, and read it over and over again! ( )

Oh, how gorgeous this book is. Each page is dazzling.

The words are beautifully placed within the imagery. The POetry is lovely. It all makes me want to find a tree or a stoop to curl up under or on. ( )

This book is not just a poem about how to read a book, but really something entirely more. Its a whole body experience that comes from reading through the mind, the eyes, the soul, the heart, and the imagination. This book relates reading to opening a clementine orange and the experience of eating a juicy delicious fruit and its similarities it has to the experience of how someone should read and enjoy a book. In this poetry the author takes the reader on a journey through the joys of reading and what it means to truly enjoy a book. Melissa Sweet’s illustrations are a visual experience of its own. The complex collage art of the illustrations will enchant and delight the reader with added treats along the way.

I think I am one of the few people who did not really care for this book. The illustrations are great, heck they are amazing. But the story is lacking. The word play is catchy but some of the concepts might be hard for those with a limited vocabulary. I like the idea of the book, but not the completed vision.

This book simplifies what it means to be able to read by describing the beauty of reading with metaphors and similes. The use of these literary elements help simplify and make reading seem like a less daunting task than it really is. Overall this book is a fun way to engage students in an English classroom to inspire them to read more. ( )
