How to Read a Book by Kwame Alexander illustrated by Melissa Sweet*

A poem that celebrates reading and books, illustrated with creative collages and layouts. 
Mr. Alexander utilizes lots of figurative language in clever ways.  I love his writing.  Ms. Sweet includes book pages from Bambi in her collages.  The words from the story actually connected to the words to the poem!  Ms. Sweet places a lot thought into her collages and layouts.
At times the busyness of neon colors interfered with my ability to fully enjoy the words.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
