Author Aubrey Lively writes:
“In this book, people of all ages are challenged to think about the act of reading and the role of the reader. Besides insight into the writing process, the book offers tips for being a better reader, as well as a better listener and friend. But really, I think it’s funny enough just to read as a bedtime story, child-audience optional.”
We agree with her. This book is tremendous fun!
