How to Hatch a Reader is an adorable early reader book for the youngest readers by Kari Ann Gonzalez. Due out 15th Aug 2023 from Gnome Road, it's 32 pages and will be available in hardcover format.
This is a free verse, fully illustrated, and simply written book about learning to read. It's full of humorous wordplay and lots of "fowl" humor. The art, by Rachel Suzanne is bright and colorful and filled with small details that will invite readers to take a closer look. The entire book is exuberant and colorful.
The author/publisher have also included a short list of resources and tips for learning to read aimed at educators and parents in the back of the book.
Five stars. This would be a great choice for classroom, home, or public library acquisition.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
