Drawing on his experiences as a child, a parent, and an inner-city teacher in Paris, the author reflects on the power of story and reminds us of our right to read anything, anywhere, anytime, so long as we are enjoying ourselves. In this translation with a foreword and illustrations by Quentin Blake, here is a guide to reading unlike any other: fresh, sympathetic, and never didactic, it is a work of literature in its own right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763638016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2008 pg. 1074\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2008 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 331\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Daniel Pennac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43228283994293,"sku":"9780763638016","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a68f0827-a6e2-4db9-be0b-f2c2ace13108.jpg?v=1698723394","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-rights-of-the-reader-9780763638016","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
