I Read about It in a Book

We would like to introduce you to Read (like Red), the hero of I Read About It In A Book.

Read loves books very much and wants you to love them too.

Did you know that books are like smart pills and that every book you read makes you a little bit smarter? Even better, you can open any book and magically transport yourself anywhere in the universe or back in time, just by using your imagination. How cool is that?

Author Rick Kelley, illustrator Cindy Jakeway, and Read, all hope you will enjoy I Read About It in a Book.
