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!
