I read I Hate Picture Books! by Timothy Young
I received a copy of it free from NetGalley
5 stars
I have to admit, I spent more time looking at the picture books inside of this book than reading the story... the first time through. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at every book on every page. The references to the picture books within the story are pretty awesome too. I also like how it looks like a book within the book. Overall, this is just a really fun read for any lover of picture books. The fonts used throughout are perfect for the story.
Oh yes, the story. So the main character decides he hates picture books because they always get him in trouble. He either does what he sees in the books and then gets in trouble, or he expects things to happen based on what he read in them. My absolute favorite part involves the story Green Eggs and Ham.
I think this is a perfect read aloud for Kindergarten or even older. It has so much fun text in it, and older kids will really appreciate the pictures as well. Patient younger children who love books are sure to love sitting down with someone and listening to this one also.
I also really love that the dedication is to a children's librarian.
