The fairy tale addition of You Read to Me, I'll Read to You is a spruced up version of several well known fairy tales. The unique part of this book is that it is meant to read with another person. There are two different characters supposed to be reading marked by different colors. The middle column is for the characters to read together. This style of book is an exciting approach to reading. It also encourages children to read with someone which is important because it shows the child that friends or family members value reading. Also, at the end of each short fairy tale story it has the two characters resolving their initial problem, and reading with each other the fairy tale book they are developed from. This book is a creative way to get struggling children interested in reading. This book demonstrates that reading does not have to be the typical words on a page with a picture. Reading is found in a wide range of material such as: picture books, magazines, poems, graphic novels, chapter books, wordless books, brochures, internet websites, etc. As a child I enjoyed reading, but at times I would get bored with it. My parents bought me a few Disney books that had sound applications on the side panel. The sounds were used to help tell the story. I thought this was a very clever idea for my parents to buy for me. When I was little I never thought I was reading, I had so much fun with the sounds that I thought of the book more as a toy. Creative books like my Disney books or the You Read to Me, I'll Read to You series are excellent reading sources that can help make reading fun for children.
