The Best Book to Read by Debbie Bertram & Susan Bloom

Summary from the publisher:

How does a book-loving boy choose what to read?  Picture books, chapter books, books that pop-up, nonfiction, and fairy tales too- books on any topic that tickles his fancy await him at his friendly neighborhood library!  No matter what he chooses, surely it will be the best book to read!




This rhyming book by Bertram and Bloom is a great introduction to various genres that students can explore as they begin to find their own reading identity.  The librarian in this story helps the children find various genres and share all that they have to offer to them.  This book is also great for introducing a classroom library or even the workshop in order to help students understand that readers all like different types of books and will be reading different books throughout the year.  This is shown on one of the last pages when the illustrator has shown all the students holding different books.  It's a great picture of what the workshop looks like in action.
