(3) K-3 Illustrated by Fred Benaglia. Rhyming text names possible ways to read a book and treat it like a friend. Digitally painted ink illustrations with unconventional color choices create vibrant compositions and recall vintage books with limited-color printing palettes. These components work together to encourage appreciation for reading and for the book as a physical object.
