Wildly original and highly interactive; ‘How To Read A Book,’ guides readers in a poetic, lyrical journey, to do simply that, read. 

Pages fall loose, and open to vibrant commanding pages of prose that are simple and easy to follow, but are also engaging and deep. The illustrations are lush, vivid, and startlingly eye-catching. 

This is the type of book you pass from child-to-child and generation-to-generation. An enjoyable read that you’ll want to unfold again and again.
