How would you like to read? Just sit on a chair alone, in a crowded library full of people, or on a train watching the story magically flow or sneaking a minute on a busy day. Every bibliophile has done almost everything and read everything under the sun.
We picked this book based on a recommendation. The book will surely encourage little kids to read more, and the rhyming texts are fun to repeat. In addition, the whimsical watercolor-styled illustrations make this book truly special.
Just Read! by Lori Degman is a book that will resonate with every bookworm and is a must-have for libraries. ( )

This book is quite simple. It is about all the ways one likes to read. I love that it included reading on ereaders, and braille. It lets the reader know that reading is reading, no matter how or who it is done with. It’s an absolutely lovely addition to any library. ( )

Visually exciting book about reading ... ( )

These kids all love to read—alone or together, on a bus or in a parade. And every time they open a book, they open up a whole new world, too! “A delightful tribute to reading anything and everything all the time. . . . There’s something for everyone.” —Booklist

Just Read! is a celebration of reading, which demonstrates that reading can be done anywhere, everywhere, and invites fantasy in even the most unlikely places.

The title sums up the book nicely. Every page is dedicated to the act of reading, and young listeners are taken through a colorful and exciting display of how versatile reading can be. Following a gentle rhyme, the text flows in an easy to understand way, while still making the situations clear. The locations where a book can be read are almost as vast as the imagination—in a place, in the grocery store, in secret code or in the rain.

The illustrations are my favorite part of this book. They are vibrant and bring every scene to life. There are tons of details, both realistic and humorous. They invite for flipping through and exploring on their own, and still bring across the main message along the way.

There's no shying away from the message in these pages—read. This makes it a lovely book to read aloud to classrooms, library readings or other groups of kids, since it does inspire reading and show demonstrate how wonderful and fun it can be.

I received a complimentary copy and loved diving into these pages. ( )
