First book I will introduce is not a picture Book. It is the 7th edition of the “The Read-aloud Handbook,” written by Jim Trelease. This is a powerful book for parents, teachers and adminstrators. It is one of the most helpful books I have found for those interested in Reading-Aloud to children. I became aware of this book when the 2nd edition was published. This book is the 7th edition and Jim Trealese is now retired. This will be the last edition published. This quote
