 * Author: **

I think this is such a cute book. Every time I read it i laugh. I love that they refer to the children as 'readers' its really important for all of the kids to know that that they are readers. This book is really good for children just learning how to read because this book shows that a book is literally a portal to another world of imagination.
 * Review: **

The writing style of this book is like a conversation. Piggie and Gerald are having a conversation in thought bubbles about how they are being read. Each of the pages does not have more than a sentence because it's easier for beginning readers. The characters not only talk to each other but in the end they also talk to the reader.
