Description
When I want to read,
what I really, really need,
is a place to sit . . .
just for a bit.
Somewhere comfy, NOT itchy-fuzzy, somewhere quiet, NOT buzz-buzzy.
The little reader in this book is having a hard time finding the ideal reading spot. Everywhere has noise, or smells, or is too hot or cold . . . and our reader finds himself with lots of company in each reading spot he considers.
But soon we discover the truth about reading books: A book is best anywhere . . . a book is best when you SHARE.
Join one small book lover's search for the perfect place to read in this beautifully illustrated picture book by the talented Leigh Hodgkinson.

Reviews
-
Hodgkinson's whimsical multimedia and digital collage illustrations are bursting with color, pattern, and texture . . . A surefire storytime crowd-pleaser.
School Library Journal
-
It's a message that should suit avid readers . . . and they'll be tickled by the playful rhymes, oddball settings, and increasingly chaotic scenes of this literary quest.
Publishers Weekly
-
Hodgkinson's inventive, well-designed images, composed of whimsical figures on richly textured backgrounds full of warm, eye-catching hues, nicely uphold the narrative . . . A natural choice for group storytime.
Booklist
-
Enlivened by the quirky multimedia art in sophisticated, earthy colors that reflect the author/illustrator's animation background . . . the story will be just as much fun to share with a group as one-on-one.
