I selected this book because I have seen children circulate a book after I read part or all of it to them aloud. Mem Fox explains how, when and why to read aloud to children. Also, she gives tips on how to read aloud in a manner that best affect the listeners. As a future librarian, I am interested in learning ways to encourage more reading and guiding children to quality literature. Reading Magic will teach me ways to reach these goals.
