As we begin a new week I wanted to share a new children’s book with you. You will find the new book in our Halloween Gift Guide 23: I Will Read to You written by Gideon Sterer (Autho, Charles Santoso (Illustrator)
Monsters oh, no I don’t like scary things, but they don’t bother Charlie or David. How about you? But I love Halloween and couldn’t wait to read I Will Read to You. Before you dive into the story look at the cover of the book isn’t the little boy cute? I love his PJs. Look at al the Monsters he is reading to there is a lot! of them.
As your reading the story don’t forget to find the orange monster hid on every page. When you open the book, you see a cute purple Monster Charlie wanted to keep and I must admit he is cute and would make a nice house guest. Mom calls the little boy inside to go to bed. he asks what type of story he would like to hear. He asks for a book about Monsters.
As she is reading the little boy hears the monsters. He asks his mother who tucks in beasts, and she says no, one. He tells his mother they need love to. He takes his mom’s hand. He takes his moms hand and hey disappear beneath the trees. He stops on a hill and calls the Vampires ad tells them he will read to them.
Skeletons and Dragons are called as well. Ghosts should come to. Giants show up. Witches are there to. They all wait for me to begin to read. They all curl up and close their eyes as I begin to read. To find out what happens next you will need to pick up a copy of I Will Read to You. As your reading the book don’t forget to call all the creatures to come listen to the story.
About:
A gentle blend of spooky and sweet, I Will Read to You is a unique rhyming bedtime tale about empathy, storytime…and monsters.
Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved stories—scary ones about skeletons and witches, giants and ghosts, vampires, dragons, mummies and goblins. But he wondered…do monsters have anyone to read to them? Armed with only a book and a flashlight (and with his bemused mother in tow), he travels through the night, calling together every monster he can think of to make sure they get the bedtime story they need.
Delightfully spooky and surprisingly tender, I Will Read to You celebrates monsters, stories, and the way a good book can bring us together.
(Don’t forget to find the little orange monster hidden on almost every page!)
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
