(More customer reviews)Paul Jennings is a very popular author in Australia: my son introduced me to his writing during the 1980s. Together, my son and I explored many of Mr Jennings's stories and separately we have explored them as well.
Some children take to reading almost instinctively. Others need some guidance to understand and appreciate the worlds promised within books. Children have different tastes, and many works that appeal to children today are not known to their parents.
In this book, Paul Jennings provides advice and assistance to parents (and other interested adults) about how to open the world through books. This book includes booklists, anecdotes and some wonderful cartoons.
I recommend this book to everyone with an interest in children's reading. Parents have a direct interest, naturally, but so do other adult relatives and all who teach. How many of us have wondered which book might be the most appropriate gift for a child - especially a child who considers reading to be unexciting or boring?
I hope one day to gift this book to my son in the hope that he may need it. In the meantime, I draw on it in relation to other children in my life.

Parents are the best reading teachers in the world. Parental involvement is key to a child learning to read, to use language - and to their whole early years education. In an easy-to-read, jargon-busting book, Paul Jennings gives simple strategies to show how parents can use books to enrich their children's lives - it's not just about learning to read, it's about learning to love reading. He cuts through the jargon and controversy to show how every parent can infect their child with the reading bug.
