Reviews

This book is a great read (no pun intended!), but it is far more than that. This is an essential toolkit for anyone working with children's reading. Alongside the research there are many practical ideas for parents, librarians and teachers to take reading forward. Carrying this book around is the equivalent of having a vast library of information at your fingertips, curated by some of the finest librarians and experts. Personally I consider the index a thing of great beauty and the references and appendices are a wonderful resource on their own. -- Dawn Finch * Awfully Big Reviews *
