Reading Makes You Feel Good

Does reading make you feel good?  Do you want to convince children that reading will make them feel good?  Then you need to share Todd Parr's book Reading Makes You Feel Good with a child in your life.

If you continue to read and follow this blog you are going to see many more posts about Todd Parr because, in my opinion, his books are WONDERFUL!! Todd's books are always very simple with great pictures and include some repetition.  In this particular book the repeated line is "Reading makes you feel good because..." This line is then followed by a reason reading is so great like you can make a pizza or you can do it anywhere.

This book is so fun to share with young children because they begin to see that reading is more than just sitting and reading a book but it is reading maps, recipes, road signs and so much more.  I always liked taking some time after reading this book to have kids make their own book about how reading makes them feel good.  Keep the book in their independent reading box, I am sure it will be a favorite!

Todd always ends his books with a message.  In Reading Makes You Feel Good, he encourages everyone to "curl up with someone special and read a good book."

Can you fill in the blank?  "Reading makes you feel good because...."  I would love to hear what you have to say!

Happy Reading!
