How to Read a Story

(3) PS Illustrated by Mark Siegel. In this how-to book, Messner's advice is matter-of-fact (e.g., "Step 1: Find a Story"). Siegel's imaginative illustrations extend the commonsense instructions ("Step 5: Open the Book"), adding humor and a bit of a plot and staving off didacticism. A boy and a blue dog ("Find a Reading Buddy") demonstrate how it's done, from sounding out unfamiliar words, to sharing your enthusiasm with friends.
