In many ways, books provide the first opportunity for children to begin to reflectively engage with and understand the world around them. Not only can parents entertain their child and convey the beauty of language through books, they can also share their values and create lasting connections. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here, Allyn offers parents and caregivers essential advice on choosing appropriate titles for their children--taking into account a child's age, attention ability, gender, and interests-- along with techniques for reading aloud effectively. But what sets this book apart is the extraordinary, annotated list of more than three hundred titles suitable for the pivotal moments in a child's life. With category themes ranging from friendship and journeys to thankfulness, separations, silliness, and spirituality, \u003ci\u003eWhat to Read When\u003c\/i\u003e is a one-of-a-kind guide to how parents can best inspire children through reading together. In addition, Pam Allyn includes an indispensable \"Reader's Ladder\" section, with recommendations for children at every stage from birth to age ten. With the author's warm and engaging voice throughout, discussion questions to encourage in-depth conversations, as well as advice on helping kids make the transition to independent reading, this book will help shape thoughtful, creative, and curious children, imparting a love of reading that will last a lifetime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese Penguin Young Reader's Books are referenced in \u003ci\u003eWhat to Read When\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSylvia Jean: Drama Queen \u003c\/i\u003e by Lisa Campbell Ernst (Penguin Young Reader's Group: 2005)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eTwo Is For Twins\u003c\/i\u003e, by Wendy Cheyette Lewison, illustrations by Hiroe Nakata (Penguin Young Readers: 2006)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eRemember Grandma? \u003c\/i\u003e by Laura Langston (Penguin Group (USA): May 2004)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSoul Looks Back in Wonder\u003c\/i\u003e compiled by Tom Feelings (Puffin Books)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eTime of Wonder \u003c\/i\u003e by Robert McCloskey (Penguin Books USA, Incorporated: December 1957)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eWhen I was Young in the Mountains\u003c\/i\u003eby Cynthia Rylant illustrated by Diane Goode (Penguin Young Readers Group: January 1993)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eNana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs\u003c\/i\u003e by Tomie DePaola (Puffin Books, an imprint of Penguin Books, Inc.:1973)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eGood Night, Good Knight\u003c\/i\u003e by Shelly Moore Thomas, illustrations by Jennifer Plecas (Penguin Young Readers Group: 2002)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Avery Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583333341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.99w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/16\/2009 pg. 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2009 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 76\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pam Allyn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43132920955061,"sku":"9781583333341","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d5f8f5ed-cd86-4551-add8-df3bb79c33ca.jpg?v=1695135892","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/what-to-read-when-the-books-and-stories-to-read-with-your-child-and-all-the-best-times-to-read-them-9781583333341","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
