Editorial Reviews

"This book is about more than reading aloud. It's about time that parents, teachers, and children spend together in a loving, sharing way."—The Washington Post

"Now, more than ever in the age of screens, this book is needed. Jim Trelease is a national treasure. Cyndi Giorgis has done a magnificent job updating this classic for today's readers. Bravo!"—Rosemary Wells, author of the Max and Ruby series

“Reading aloud is a joyous experience for child and for parent. The Read-Aloud Handbook offers useful hints as to why the experience is so mutually rewarding and how to make it work.”—Arthur Schlesinger

"The Read-Aloud Handbook promises to give parents, teachers, and all others who care about children, reading, and the pursuit of happiness new inspiration."—The Denver Post

“Fresh, vital, and inspirational…bravo for Trelease! I urge everyone who cares about literacy—and that should include people without children—to read this book.”—Los Angeles Herald Examiner

“As I read this treasure of a book, I became more and more fascinated with its contents…I give it my unqualified recommendation.”—“Dear Abby”

From the Publisher

10/01/2019
Giorgis, a professor of children's and young literature, revises Jim Trelease's classic guide, which was first published to great acclaim in 1982. This eighth edition generally adheres to the earlier version's format, with some changes to chapter headings. It retains the chatty success stories, some repeated, some new, but updates some of the research that supports the importance of reading aloud to children to promote a lifelong love of reading. Both editions stress the need for easy access to literature. Sections on the stages of reading aloud (infant, toddler, etc.) and strategies for reading aloud are repeated from the earlier edition. This version explores visual and digital literacy in greater depth, with useful examples. This edition differs most from its predecessors with the section "A Treasury of Recommended Read-Alouds," which features more current titles. Both editions provide lists of the authors' own special favorites in particular genres. VERDICT Like its predecessors, this is an excellent choice to recommend to parents and also useful for beginning teachers and librarians. Libraries that possess the seventh edition should consider replacing it with this more current version.—Jackie Gropman, formerly at Chantilly Regional Library, VA
