On the heels of Manners Can Be Fun comes the next title in Munro Leaf's acclaimed "Fun" series, Reading Can Be Fun, first published in 1953, with lessons as timely and enduring today as they were then. In his signature style of stick-figure drawings and wholesome text, Leaf demonstrates that reading really can be fun and educational at the same time. As he describes, "The whole wonderful story of the past and the interesting days we live in now take on new color and meaning when we learn more about them through the books we read."
With humorous explanations and illustrations children will chuckle while processing the fundamental reasons for learning to read. Books can be best friends, they are the source for good ideas, they are a vehicle for exploring faraway places and meeting all kinds of people, and they help boys and girls get ready to become grownups. Profoundly affecting, reading is a powerful tool in shaping a child's path to confident, happy adulthood.
Leaf's "Fun" books also include Grammar, History, Arithmetic, and Science.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and educational, July 26, 2007

This review is from: Reading Can Be Fun (Hardcover)
My boys love all of Munro Leaf's books. I am able to teach them in a fun, not so boring manner. I think they enjoy his other books more, but I was struggling with getting my son interested in reading for enjoyment. It helps them to hear why it is important from someone other than their mom.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Should be Read by Parents and Children Together, September 18, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reading Can Be Fun (Hardcover)
I will always remember that when I was a child, I read Manners Can be Fun by Munro Leaf with my mother. When I found out that 4 of his books, including Reading Can be Fun, were still available I hunted them down. As a parent and psychologist, married to a teacher, I believe that all parents should read this book, as well as the others, with their children at an early age instead of letting them watch TV unattended. It worked with my children. It is an investment well worth the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reading can be fun., December 21, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reading Can Be Fun (Hardcover)


I particularly like Munro Leaf's book on reading, which was written for young children to either read or be read to. The logic of choosing good things to read to develop the mind ( as compared to exercise for the body to develop) is a basic concept in the book. The stick figures are fun and mirror the text well.
