review 1: Lucy is motivated to learn to read and write because she wants to create a surprise for someone special. To help her, her parents print out the letters for various words on post-its, which are then stuck to the objects or individuals they represent. When they loosen and fall off, Lucy's puppy Peanut eats the paper. Lucy copies the letters and words she is learning so she will know them, and then she prepares her surprise. This is a delightful book illustrating good early literacy practices for parents and children. The acrylic, gouache, colored pencils, and pastel pencils combine in a vibrant palette of colors featuring smiling faces, alight in the joy of living and acquiring literacy.
review 2: Delightful! Give READING TO PEANUTS as a gift to any parent whose ... morechild is about ready to read and write, along with some crayons and oversized sticky notes. Lucy announces she wants to learn to read and write but doesn't tell Mom and Dad why but they help her out in the process. So does Peanut her dog - he eats the sticky notes that fall off, such as MOM, DAD, EAT, NAP, etc. You and the child you are reading this picture book to will chuckle in delight when you discover why Lucy just has to read and write. Amanda Haley's humorous illustrations bring life to Lucy's antics. less
