    Why raising readers Has Selected This Book
    We like to include read-aloud books that can be read again and again. Books where the pictures tell stories and give details that are not in the words are especially appreciated. The animals in this book are playful and mischievous, telling lots of small stories to a child who looks at the book closely.
