This book is about a little boy who was born to read. He starts reading from the time he is just a baby. When he grows up he continues to read mnay things. He enjoys reading and seems to read all the time. He reads at the store, he reads while he is walking, he even reads while he lays basketball. When a giant comes to his town and everyone is scared, the little boy finds a way to entertain the giant so he will not hurt anyone in the town. Everyone in the town is thrilled that the little boy distracted him and so others began to believe that those who read can do anything, be anyone, and go anywhere they want. This is a good book for children of many ages. Children in kindergarten and first grade would really love this book and all its colors. The writing on the pages is everywhere so it may be hard for young readers to follow but they would love for it to be read to them. ( )

This is a wonderful book to show children how reading can help. As teachers you are always telling children it is important to read and learn how. This is a good book to demonstrate and encourage children to read and want to read. You can read it to K-2 grade. ( )

A baby boy grows into a reader and along the way we get to see how reading can help him solve problems for himself and his town. This is a sweet story and there's the added fun of Marc Brown's illustrations which show lots of famous children's books.

This book follows the life a little boy from baby to boy. He is read to when he was young by his mother. As he grows up he is able to read things at the grocery store and road signs. This book is about how reading is important and with ready one can accomplish many things. I think this book could be read when telling students the importance of reading.
