"You're being challenged to try reading The Snatchabook aloud to yourself. You cannot succeed. The novel is so fantastic that it begs to be read aloud. In addition, how would the Snatch-a-book hear it if you didn't read the book aloud?" Brian Selznick, winner of the Caldecott Medal "This incredibly charming tale begs to be read aloud. There is no doubt that both children and parents will like this one." -Booklist "This book will not be read aloud because of its rhyming text, which is reminiscent of Dr. Seuss's writing. Smart kids would say they want to keep the Snatchabook happy when they request to have this book read to them every night."
