And thanks to the following book boosters and reviewers for these kind shoutouts!
The Late Bloomers Book Blog by Gigi McAllister: “What book lover can’t relate to Hana’s desire to tread ALL the books?” “I can see lots of lists of questions being created in classrooms after reading this book. I can’t wait to read it to students in my library.”
Midwest Book Review: “A charming celebration of the delight and value of reading, I Want to Read All the Books by author/illustrator Debbie Ridpath Ohi is an especially and unreservedly recommended pick for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community/public library picture book collections for children ages 4-8. It should be noted for personal reading lists that “I Want to Read All the Books” is also readily available in a digital book format (Kindle, $10.99) as well.”
YA Books Central by Karen Yingling – “The message that there is a lot to learn in the world, and that books are a great place to start is a good one that I wish my middle school students had internalized at a young age, and is a great one to deliver to early elementary school students. This would make a fantastic present to a grade school teacher, and would be great to read aloud before a visit to the school library, or if students are lucky enough, a field trip to the public library.”
