Summary: Every Child Will Adore Reading,, Parents Will Have Fun, Too
Comment: Every child will adore books and reading once they have experienced them as Esme Codell suggests. Parents, older children, teachers and volunteers will also be caught up in the process of helping children love to read using Codell's relevant and meaningful activities, coupled with books.
It took only an hour to peruse and learn how to navigate this magnificent reference book full of lists, ideas, encouragements, tips, actrivities, and so much more. It is now easy to locate the right books and activities for the children I teach.
Esme Codell is a delightfully "up" person, whose personality and joy of living fully is expressed in her writing. She tells how to share that joy of life, experienced through books and activities, with your child. To quote her, she believes there is "no reason you shouldn't be empowered to make learning happen for your child whenever you see fit." Through this book, she makes it easy. As a former story hour lady and librarian, a current teacher, parent, grandparent and author, my excitement level and desire to "dig in" and use more of her ideas is high.
Thematic learning is the ultimate way to capture children's interest. Codell offers multiple themes from science, history, fairy tales, party ideas, to traveling, and so much more -- all featuring a wealth of book choices. She knows her literature!
How to Get Your Child to Love Reading is a "must-have" book for every parent, grandparent and teacher, and a great compliment to the book I authored, "You Can Teach Someone to Read". It's one you'll never stop using, even when it gets dog-eared. You may, however, have to pass it down to your child to use when he becomes an parent.

Summary: This book is impossible to borrow, you have to buy!!!
Comment: I checked this book out from the library, interested in this whopping 500 page book! I had heard about the author from her Educating Esme book. I was interested in what she had to say, being a teacher myself. This book is quite inspiring, for children, teachers, and parents alike!!!
I am obviously a huge advocate for children being surrounded by books and as well as ordering from scholastic every month, I scan the titles at the local bookstores, hoping that someday, the book fairy will come down and wave his/her magic wand at me! All silliness aside, reading about reading always gets me excited!
I have no idea where she came up with all of those titles, she must have done tons of researching, because there are over 3000 titles in this book alone!
I loved the little pages full of advice and ideas... example: Your Job: Connect children with books. Basically, if they want to be an accountant, read: Alexander, who used to be rich last Sunday. If they want to be in hotel management, read Rabbit Inn.
Her chapters range for ages from infants to teenagers, stopping at interesting subjects in between! Books in the bath, alphabet and counting books, wordless books, unbirthday stories, civil war, slavery, Africa, Asia, the list goes on and on!
Also, there are lots of little advice columns for those that need help. She responds, Dear gentle reader...
I wish there was a book around when I was younger so I could have a greater access to all of these titles! Reading to children is the most important thing we can do for them because it spells out love and caring! I have to buy it!

Summary: Don't be Put Off by Author's Exuberance
Comment: I agree with the enthusiastic reviews here and just wanted to add that, if one finds the author's style annoying (I do), this is still a great book. I didn't buy this book at first due to the overly-zealous style. On a second look-through I bought it, read it, and have bought multiple copies as gifts ever since. Terrific ideas to keep a child's interest as well as wonderful recommendations.
