Books in "You Read to Me, I'll Read to You"
Mother Goose gets a new stage in this lively book made for two voices. Humpty Dumpty, Little Miss Muffet, Old King Cole, and other familiar nursery-rhyme figures step into short, funny tales that children and adults can read together. The color-coded text shows which lines belong to each reader and when both voices join, making the book inviting for growing readers who are ready to share the page. Mary Ann Hoberman uses rhyme, rhythm, repetition, and quick dialogue to build confidence without losing the fun of a real story. Michael Emberley’s energetic illustrations add humor and expression to each familiar character. Part of the You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You series, this collection is a warm, playful bridge between being read to and reading with someone else.
