I ordered this book because of a webinar I viewed through my state library association, and I’m glad I did.The author of this work, Megan Lambert, is well-known in children’s literature circles; for several years she served on the committee to select the Caldecott Medal winners, the highest U.S. award for illustrators. She remarks that during one story time she had an epiphany, a light-bulb moment: Books are more than just the story, the text; books are the whole book! After reading Lambert's book, I see how true this is, even in books beyond picture books.So Lambert breaks down the “anatomy” of a book – from the size and shape of the book, to the jackets and covers, to all the other elements of a book and how each element can contribute to the story. Readers see marginal notes of the parts of a book’s anatomy in the margins – such as “copyright page,” “front matter,” “gutter” and more—and learn about how each part of a book’s anatomy can contribute to the meaning of the story and enhance readers’ visual intelligence.Lambert uses some terminology of education and librarianship, but she does explain new terms adequately for laypeople. I felt neither “talked down to” nor over my head.Anyone who works with children or youth – teachers, librarians, parents – should read and learn from this book to help foster reading in young people. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gift this to an adult: How to read picture books with, not to, children *by R***Y on November 23, 2015* Adults often ask children, "Do you see what I see?" Megan Dowd Lambert changes the question in Reading Picture Books With Children so that adults who read picture books ask children, "What do you see?" Children, even the very young, become participants when picture books are read with them rather than to them. The reader becomes a facilitator of active listening and engagement by children in the whole picture book from cover to cover and everything in between. Who would have thought that Eric Carle's very hungry caterpillar left droppings? An active and visually astute child did when Megan Dowd Lambert once read the classic picture book with a group of children. That is but one of many examples she recounts in the book based on her years of experience of reading with children and developing her whole book approach. Reading Picture Books With Children contains a wealth of practical and informative examples, anecdotes, and suggestions for parents, grandparents, teachers, and librarians who want to read picture books with, and not to, children. A guarantee: Adult and child will see what the other sees. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/21043737-reading-picture-books-with-children-how-to-shake-up-storytime](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/21043737-reading-picture-books-with-children-how-to-shake-up-storytime) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
