Try this series with your beginning reader!
Published on Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Do you have a new reader in your family? Do you like to read together?
Mary Ann Hoberman’s fun collections of short rhyming stories for two voices are great for adults and kids to read together -- or even for kids to read with each other!
There are five titles in the series. The first book is a series of original stories; the others explore well-known fairy tales, fables, nursery rhymes, and spooky stories. Each story is told entirely in dialogue, and the text is split into two speaking parts. Every story ends with the same upbeat refrain: "You read to me, I'll read to you!"

In the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina, in the small coastal town of Bois Sauvage, 14-year-old Esch isn’t thinking about storing water or evacuating to higher ground. Instead she worries about her emotionally absent father’s drinking, her brother Skeetah's prized pitbull and her new puppies, and most frightening of all, the fact that she’s just discovered she’s pregnant.
