Step One: Find a story. ( A good one. )
Step Two: Find a reading buddy. ( Someone nice. )
Step Three: Find a reading spot. ( Couches are cozy. )
Now: Begin.
Accomplished storytellers Kate Messner and Mark Siegel chronicle the process of becoming a reader: from pulling a book off the shelf and finding someone with whom to share a story, to reading aloud, predicting what will happen, and-finally-coming to The End. This picture book playfully and movingly illustrates the idea that the reader who discovers the love of reading finds, at the end, the beginning.
