How to Teach a Slug to Read

A little boy explains to Mama Slug how to teach Little Slug to read. Here are a few of his reading rules: Attach labels to Little Slug?s favorite things; Read out loud to him; Point out words that repeat; Sound out words; Make a vocabulary list; Be patient! And, of course, it helps if Little Slug can see the book, so prop it up and set him on a rock! David Slonim?s hilarious acrylic and charcoal illustrations and Susan Pearson?s witty text show that reading can be fun!
