review 1: The text of this book is short ... less than a hundred pages and the rest of the book is lists of great book suggestions for different ages and times in a child's life (death of a grandparent, bullying, first day of school, non-fiction, plays). While there isn't any information in here that hasn't been covered in other read aloud books (ex: Read Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease) it is still a quick worthwhile read and a great resource for the lists.
review 2: It's an okay overview of *some* books, but how can you possibly put every book into a recommended list? As a high school teacher this is unhelpful because it ends with 10-year-olds, but as a mother, I walked away with some titles I hadn't known before. The one thing I take issue with is the idea that the... more shared morals is the first reason to read aloud; I think people on both sides of the aisle might take issue with that...I know my feelings are pretty complicated and certainly I wouldn't put morality as my top reason to read or write for children... less
