Born To Read

THE AWARD-WINNING COLLABORATORS of the "New York Times "#1 picture book bestseller "Wild About Books "are back with a new story that promotes books and reading. Told in Judy Sierra s inimitable read-aloud rhyme, the narrative chronicles the amazing successes of Sam thanks to his early love of books. The story ranges from Sam s infancy, when his mother reads him a picture book ( then another, then another, then another . . . such a perfect, patient mother ), to school age, when he cleverly uses some of his favorite books to rid his town of the rampaging baby giant, Grundaloon. Here s my secret, Sam decreed. Readers win and winners read. Marc Brown s playful pictures joyously complement this fun-to-read, upbeat story"
