Will You Read to Me?

By Denys Cazet

Book Overview

When you are little and you've learned to read, and you've learned to write a poem all by yourself, you'd like someone big to put his arm around you and say, "Wow! Wonderful! You are terrific!"

Hamlet's pig family is more interested in supper than poetry. Sadly, he wanders off into the night woods with his book and his poems.

And there Hamlet finds something powerfully surprising. Something good and grand and terrific.

Customer Reviews

We loved this book!

This is a great book to encourage reading!!! Loved it and the kids love it too!

Loved it!

I checked this book out from the library to read it to my daughters (ages 7 and 9). I was not expecting what I got. It is the sweetest, most poetic childrens book I've ever read. It's not a long, convoluted story. It is short and beautifully written. In just few minutes you feel like you're in another world! The illustrations are lovely too. I am going to purchase this book so it can be part of our own library. I will also give a few copies to my niece and friends.
