Books About Reading Validates Reading!
By Holly E. Newton

Here is a collection of picture books geared for ages four to eight which celebrates the importance of reading [with the exception of the last book].

Miss Smith Under the Ocean, by Michael Garland, is an adventure that takes reading to a level that actually becomes real.

Josias, Hold the Book, by Jennifer Riesmeyer Elvgren, and beautifully painted with soft water-colors by Nicole Tadgell, is a fascinating look inside the life of a Haitian boy, Josia, as he works in his family's garden.

Homer The Library Cat, by Reeve Lindbergh, and perfectly painted with a combination of water-color and collage by Anne Wilsdorf, has Homer curled up in his quiet house after his owner leaves for work.

Miss Dorothy and Her Bookmobile, by Gloria Houston, and painted with soft pastel hues by Susan Condie Lamb, is a story based on the author's own librarian who travelled all over the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina delivering books to families who were always waiting anxiously for her arrival.

Book Speak!  Poems About Books, by Laura Purdie Salas, and brilliantly illustrated with a unique blend of mixed media by Josee Bisaillon, is full of magic, the kind of magic that only words blended on paper and brewed with majestic illustrated wonder.

The Adventures of Mark Twain, by Huckleberry Finn, and with considerable help from Robert Burleigh, and painted with ink and watercolor by Barry Blitt, is a fun and humorous account of one of America's most renowned authors.

Story County Here We Come!, by Derek Anderson, is an imaginative and brightly painted story that demonstrates how clever and ingenious stories can be.

I Will Not Read This Book, by Cece Meng, and digitally illustrated by Joy Ang, is aimed at the reluctant reader as a youngster.

Five Little Monkeys Reading in Bed, by Eileen Christelow, has the same characteristics of the cute little monkeys we've grown to love from the author's previous books.

Inkblot:  Drip, Splat, and Squish Your Way to Creativity, by Margaret Peot, is one of the most remarkable books of delving into ways to motivate and achieve uniqueness!
