Review
‘All the Wonderful Ways to Read is a gorgeous, rhyming text, celebrating the joy and power of reading for pleasure. The tone is light and playful and is perfectly suited to stages 1 & 2 of primary school (Infants – 2nd class). The text is crafted with plenty of questions to keep young readers (and listeners) engaged and thinking. This book is a simple but ‘wonderful’ celebration of the magic of reading – a great text to demonstrate that reading is more than just something to associate with hard work; it reminds young readers that reading can take us anywhere and can happen in any place, anytime. Beautifully illustrated, a simple text with an alluring flow; this has gone straight into my ‘go-to’ shelf!’ – Clara Fiorentini (Clara’s Corner May 2024)
About the Author
Laura Baker is the author of all sorts of books for children. She has written about feelings, farms, the magic of books . . . and even talking onions! Laura grew up in Canada but now lives in a lovely town on the coast of Wales with her husband, two boys and a big basset hound.
Sandra de la Prada has loved drawing since she was a child, but she’s also loved watching films, reading books and having fun. She is sure all these things, as well as studying photography and graphic design, and working on several different jobs, have helped her to become an illustrator. She published her first illustrated book in 2010 and hasn’t stopped since then. She lives in Barcelona and still does all the things that she loves.
