review 1: It is bedtime and the boy in this book says he will not read the book in his hand because "reading is hard and I don't read fast and sometimes there are words I don't know." He gives multiple death-defying scenarios in which even then he will not read the book until the end when he says, if mom catches him, then he will read the book.The little boy in the book is afraid to read the book but by the end he knows it will be all right if he has someone to read along beside him. The illustrations are adorable and colorful. By page 10 it becomes very repetitive in Green Eggs and Ham style. But for a reluctant or early reader this is perfect because repetitiveness encourages success. The repetitiveness is silly fun as well so the reader does not become bored.This book is ad... morevertized for ages 4-8. I'm not sure the 4 year old range would enjoy this as much, but definitely grades k-3.
review 2: 3.5A good book for that little boy that's giving you trouble reading. The story has a nice repetitive structure that is good for early readers. Given the topic is a little child that doesn't want to read a book, the form and content go well together. I found the illustrations a bit simplistic, but they were alive with action and storytelling. Overall, I found this rather well put together. Try it out first, but I recommend it. less

A cute repetitive tale for the transitional reader who does not love reading yet.

I can see this as a read aloud in the classroom for reluctant readers. Loved it!

This is a cute book and the repetition would work well in story time.
