Very Short Fairy Tales to Read Together: Very Short Fairy Tales to Read Together (You Read to Me, I'll Read to You, 2)

I bought these mainly for the length and overall quality. I only typically jump cars, so I can't speak to the heavy duty worthiness beyond that. I can say that I recently jump started a co-workers V8 Jeep. They were pulled in between two parked cars at an apartment community. I pulled up behind them and got my cables out of the back. They kept commenting about hoping my cables would reach. I laid them out from the battery side of my car, along the entire length of their SUV and along the front of their car. Their jaw almost hit the ground! There was still a couple of feet of cable. I really like that the clamps were coated all the way down to where the cables grip onto the terminal. I LOVE the way the clamps securely grip onto and hold the terminal. No cable I have ever owned has grabbed this securely and held on and I only buy mid-grade or higher cables. Most mid-grade cables will move on the terminal under the weight of the cables, but not these. They stayed perfectly in place while I made adjustments. Very satisfied!

One of my students is 8 years old and in the 3rd grade. She is slightly reading-delayed. Recently I brought this book out for the reading portion of my lesson plan. In this book, the child and adult take turns reading color coded "lines" that are similar to poetry in cadence.She loved it--the book held her attention well. We giggled at the stories together. Some of the words are beyond her reading level, but it's easy to prompt her when it is her turn to read.She particularly loves the parts where we read together.This book helps develop fluency and demonstrates cadence when you are reading to your student (or child). They see that oral reading doesn't have to have a "wooden" and stilted inflection. We get quite dramatic when reading some of the lines, and she just loves this book.

Great collection of stories to read together. I recommend them all.

These are fun to read taking turns line by line. The stories are very short sort of twists on fairy tales, more like commentary than hello,t the actual story, which has made it hard for my 4 year d to recognize exactly what is happening. A little bit older and this probably wouldn't be an issue.

I love the idea of books I can read "with" my daughter. She is shy about reading aloud, but enjoys reading with me. This book gave us cute, familiar stories and rhymes to enjoy together. I am looking forward to purchasing more of the "You Read to Me, I'll Read to You" books in the near future. I wouldn't recommend for beginner readers, some words can be difficult without help (ogre, naughty, jealous). I just help my daughter along, and it has many of her Kindergarten sight words in it.

I LOVED this book. And so did my 6 year old! She thought it so cool how we both had our own parts to read. I’d buy more like this for sure. It’s a genius idea 👍🏻

My kids (age 3 and 5) love these books-- we have three of them, and have gotten others from the library.My five year old reads them fluently, and my three year old loves that he can join in, too, when we get to the last few lines of each poem (which are supposed to be read aloud together). He shouts at the top of his lungs, "you'll read to me, I'll read to you!"

Great way to encourage and motivate my little one to read.

All the books in this series are delightful, specially for slightly competent young readers. I use them in schools, and get 2 copies of each book soneach one partnering has one - either teacher + student, or student + student. Great to use at home too!

Great for 6-7 years old

What a fab idea! Will be purchasing more

Gift for Four year old Granddaughter.

Real hit with my children.The love taking it in turns to read.We had one book already which we thought we had lost then turned up and we bought this in the interim as my daughter was so upset.
