You Read to Me, I'll Read to You/Very Short Fairy Tales to Read Together

Megan Tingley Books, Little, Brown & Co., 2004.

Illustrated by Michael Emberly.

A 2005 Notable Children’s Book in the Language Arts by the Children’s Literature Assembly of the National Council of Teacher of English. Also chosen as a 2004 Gryphon Award Honor Book by the Center for Children’s Books.

The second book in the best-selling You Read to Me series features new takes on some of the best-loved fairy tales, including "The Three Bears," "Cinderella," and "Little Red Riding Hood." Like the first book, this one consists of short rhyming dialogues, with each character's lines indicated by a different color.

The bouncing rhythms and bubbling rhymes carry new readers along merrily from story to story, while Michael Emberley's lively illustrations enhance the text's humor and high spirits.

"Even seasoned older readers will love the parody…Emberley's clear comic- style pictures are hilarious."
