When can you start reading to your child? How do you find that special book to inspire a reluctant reader? What can you do to keep your tween reading into their adolescent years? Award-winning teacher librarian Megan Daley, the passionate voice behind the Childrens Books Daily blog, has the answers to all these questions and more. She unpacks her twenty years of experience into this personable and accessible guide, enhanced with up-to-date research and firsthand accounts from well-known Australian childrens authors. It also contains practical tips, such as suggested reading lists and instructions on how to run book-themed activities.Raising Readers is a must-have resource for parents and educators to help the children in their lives fall in love with books.

Kiddo‘s surprise today was a library splurge! I let max out her card - which is usually 40 items, but apparently they‘ve expanded that to allow for the 72-hour quarantine for returned items, because she has 46 on her card now! This is her weekend reading (and yes, she‘ll read most of it by the end of Sunday). Cartoon villain chortle in the car with “they‘re all mine!”

Hooked_on_books I love this! This reminds me of childhood library visits. My mom always told me I could get as many as I could carry myself. Then I would start to read them in the car on the way home. And it‘s so wonderful to see an excited young reader in the era of screens! 😍 4y

LittlePixels That's awesome! My kiddo is the same way. It's so great to be #raisingreaders 4y
ravenlee @Hooked_on_books that all sounds right, although I do most of the carrying. She said she‘d start in the car, but then she plucked a graphic novel from the stack (as two librarians were processing them and I was stuffing them into bags), leaned against the circ desk, crossed her ankles, and read the whole thing! She‘s already read 10 of this haul and I just put 7 more on hold for tomorrow (because she got 1 and 9 of a subseries). 4y
ravenlee Thanks @LittlePixels @CaffeineAndCandy @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm it‘s days like this I feel like I‘m doing som of this parenting right! 4y
Hooked_on_books Fantastic! 4y
batsy I love this so much! Nothing like being a kid who loves to read—and having access to all of the books! 😁💖 4y

My big 7 year old and I had some mom-son time today, and of course, he wanted to hit the book store. 😍 Dude loves graphic novels. He‘s the coolest, sweetest kid on the planet.

britt_brooke @TNbookworm Thank you!! Btw, Nashville Littens are having a meetup March 14. Let me know if you‘re interested. 💚 4y
Reviewsbylola What are his favorite GN? 4y
britt_brooke @Reviewsbylola He‘s loves the Popular MMO books, Dog Man, Wings of Fire (the first 3 junior novels have been adapted to GN thus far), Press Start!, and some of the Science Comics GN. And anything Pokémon. We‘ve been recommenced HiLo, and Zita the Space Girl, but haven‘t tried them yet. What are Genevieve‘s favorites? We‘re always looking, too! ? (edited) 4y
Reviewsbylola Mostly she sticks to her very favorite series, Bad Kitty. She also does Dogman occasionally but only likes the first book so far. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Her new recent find that she really is into is this series 4y
Reviewsbylola I‘d say though that she‘s still not huge into GN/chapter books yet. 4y
britt_brooke @Reviewsbylola The Narwhal and Jelly books are fun! It really takes time to get into the longer books. V really likes chapter books that are about 150 pages. Anything longer feels daunting, I think. 4y

A really lovely book about keeping kids interested in book from birth to adulthood plus loads of great recommendations for books of all types. Also a great resource for librarians.
