Cute cover...
Derived From Web , Jul 23, 2019
This might be too advanced for figurative kids, since it uses a little language. I wanted to find something more arty than something structural. I agree that it is simple for a text aloud, but may not be practical for struggling readers.

Fantastic Book About Reading Books! :)

The story is very simple, but the illustrations and the features of the text are what make it so wonderful. Artistic illustrations are included. This will definitely share this with my students in my classroom.
