You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Fables to Read Together

Perfect for early readers!

Our 6 year old daughter loves to read this book with either me or her Daddy and our 4 year old son loves to hear it because it moves quickly and the different voices make it sound really fun! Definitely recommend!

Highly Recommended

These books are great to motivate young readers! Fun, easy-to-read, short stories are perfect for our 2nd grader!

Highly Recommend

Our 6 year old Daughter loves all the "You Read to Me, I'll Read to You" books. We are making great childhood memories for her with these!

Highly Recommend

Our 6 year old daughter loves this book. She is just learning to read so her father and I read it to her and she is dieing to learn the words so she can take one of the parts. She always jumps in on the words she knows. I believe the "You Read to Me, I'll Read to You" books will be one of our daughters lasting memories from her childhood.

Fun Reading Together

Mary Ann Hoberman and Michael Emberley have done it again: another great volume in the You Read to Me, I'll Read to You series. Stories are scripted into two parts for two readers. We enjoy this dynamic way of reading together and my six-year old who loves to be read to enjoys having "breaks" during reading while not interfering with the cadence of the story. I do recommend that your children be familiar with the traditional Mother Goose rhymes for maximum enjoyment and humor. The stories are short and it's nice to be able to have these as a "go to" storybook for reading when there isn't a lot of time for getting through a meatier story.

Entertaining reading and life lessons

My 4-year old niece loves this book. Not only does it teach her how to read, it also teaches valuable lessons such as appreciating differences between people, words that are not appropriate to use, and the importance of reading. The stories encourage creativity and discussion. The illustrations are very entertaining. We like the layout of the book, one reads one side, the other reads the other side, and both read what is in the middle. We can also switch sides when she has learned one side. I can see her sharing this with her friends. A very good tool for learning to read and in how to work as a team. I highly recommend this book. It is a joy to read and share.

Great bed time reading

Cute short stories written to be read by an adult and a child. Stories are just long enough for bed time reading. Colorful illustrations. Great for the novice reader.

Great for Bedtime.

Variations of fairy tales written to be read aloud by an adult and a child. My 6 year old grand daughter loves these books. Instead of the usual 'bed time story', she enjoys the combination of being read to and reading to Mom or Dad.

I Read to You

This book was a gift to a beginning reader, who has enjoyed reading alongside her parents. I highly recommend reading this series to others.

I Read to You

This was a gift to a beginning reader who has and continues to enjoy reading it with her parents. I highly recommend this series to others.

We read and laugh together!

I share this with my grandsons who are first graders. It is fun taking turns and experiencing a classic story in a new way. It is enjoyable to read anytime. I have bought a few other similar books and am anxious to share them with my boys.

A good sharing and learning tool

I sent this book to my granddaughter who lives with her father and is going through a lot of separation anxiety away from her mother. Sharing the reading more closely bonds her relationship with "Daddy"as she learns new words and at the same time enjoys sharing a story with him, not just listening to him read.

Never thought to buy this book until now

I've been reading fairy tales and such since I was a boy, and also read them to my son, but when I saw this book in Barnes & Noble I bought it with the intention of my son reading it to me. It's all worked out greatly and he now reads them (this book) to his mom, grandparents, friends, etc.

A Terrific Book!!!

Purchased this book for my 26 month old son, as a pre-Halloween treat @ our YMCA book sale. He & I both love this book -- so, many great characters & soooo much fun to read -- he picked the stye of the book in just a few nights & is able to fill in some of the key words as I read it to him. I can't wait to get him the other titles availabe from the same author for Christmas -

One of our very favorites

We love this book and the first edition. We have four kids ages 10, 7, 2,and 15 months. We use it in so many different ways. The first book came out when our oldest was learning to read and it has been very well - loved. That is the reason we purchased this book and we have loved it to pieces too. Our two oldest girls take turns reading the parts aloud to the two younger kids and it really keeps their attention. These books were what we used to improve our 2nd grader's 'reading fluency' meaning the quality of her tone and inflection for reading aloud. Even the grownups get a giggle out of these.

A Hit with Mom and Early Reader!

Getting my reluctant early reader to sit with a book is often a real chore. Now, he's begging me to read this book. The stories are funny renditions of well-known tales and he loves picking which role he'll read each time we reach a new story. His fluency is improving as he mimics my pace and we both love ending each story in unison, 'You read to me, I'll read to you.' Get this book!

Wonderful Shared Book!

Our students in our reading lab are 3rd-5th grade at-risk students reading 1 1/2+ years below grade level. They LOVE this book. Most of the time the students read to their tutors, with this book, they read WITH their tutors. It is a great way for the tutors to model reading fluency. I have students memorizing the short 'stories', trading places with the tutors for their parts, and even coming in at recess with a friend to read the book.
