Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

We expect a lot of Trelease, and this enticing anthology does not disappoint. The 50 selections, sensibly grouped by subject (real life, fantasy, classics, folktales) and difficulty, range from good to outstanding. Some are complete stories; others are appetite-whetting chapters from novels; all are aimed at K-4. Many pieces come from "old favorites" ( Bambi , Homer Price , Charlotte's Web ), while others have been rescued from undeserved obscurity (including a French gem, "The Magic Thread"). Each carefully chosen piece has also been given a setting that shows it to best advantage. Trelease easily captures the reader's interest, particularly with his engaging introductions but also with the lively note on follow-up reading that rounds out each selection. The buttonholing excitement of the title animates these fascinating mini-essays. Not only will this collection circulate, but the sources Trelease so enthusiastically describes will get a boost off the shelf too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure, November 15, 2006
This review is from: Hey! Listen to This: Stories to Read Aloud (Paperback)
A wonderful book to read to your children from. My daughters and I each will treasure the bedtime stories that I read to them from this book. Now that they are older they have requested their own copies, hopefully for their own children (I'm keeping my tattered copy for my nights with their children/my grandchildren).

5.0 out of 5 stars Read Aloud handbook review, January 11, 2009
This review is from: Hey! Listen to This: Stories to Read Aloud (Paperback)
This book is great! I have used it for several years now for my children. It helps me choose which books are appropriate for certain levels of reading and understanding and maturity. I am really happy that it also gives a list of related books. When we don't know what to read together next, we always go back to this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book; wish more pieces for girls, December 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hey! Listen to This: Stories to Read Aloud (Paperback)
This is an awesome book of books. Even you are not interested in reading aloud, it serves as an excellent resource of kid's fun reading list. I only hope it had included more books for girls - the author has two sons, so it's very natural that his list is more boy-oriented.
