"This book is about more than reading aloud. It's about time that parents, teachers, and children spend together in a loving, sharing way."
--The Washington Post
"Now, more than ever in the age of screens, this book is needed. Jim Trelease is a national treasure. Cyndi Giorgis has done a magnificent job updating this classic for today's readers. Bravo!"

The Read-Aloud Handbook promises to give parents, teachers, and all others who care about children, reading, and the pursuit of happiness new inspiration."
