Read Me a Story (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798985343014)

Originally written and performed for the Mary R. Fisher Elementary School's annual assembly in celebration of "Read Across America," a reading initiative by the National Education Association, Read Me a Story highlights moments in a young boy's life.

He starts with a plea to his Mom, "Can you read, read, read me a story?" Then he's a student at school whose teacher asks him to read her a story questions, "Where? What? Or who? Did you find any clues?" Later in life, when he has grown up and has a child of his own, life comes full circle as he hears his own son whisper, "Can you read, read, read me a story?"

The sheet music at the end of the book and the beautiful recording of the song (free online), transform this engaging story into a singalong for all generations to enjoy. You'll be humming the tune long after you read the last words of the book: "Just read me a story. Then I'm off to sleep."
