Jim Trelease (1941–2022)

If you are a parent or an educator, get this book from the library. I read the 7th edition. The first 172 pages pertain to reading, the importance of, etc. I've long been convinced that it's critical to read, read, read to your kids -- and I still learned a lot from this section. Some ideas reinforced, some expounded upon.

The second half of the book contains titles that would make good read-alouds. Sorted by type, and then sorted alphabetically by title within that.

I haven't evaulated many of these titles yet, but I'm writing down a few and will add these to our library list. I feel like it would be a more useful list if books were grouped by age vs. alphabetically.

One thing to note: a good book doesn't necessarily translate to a good read-aloud. Some books are better read to yourself, silently. This book focuses on the ones that are great aloud.… (altro)
