Illustrated by Michael Emberley
You Read to Me, I'll Read to You is a series that breaks down and re-writes classic fables so that they can be read by two or more people. The stories are written in rhyme, and are accompanied by illustrations that help to tell the story.
Although I like the reading together concept that this book is based on, I don't think that the writing is all that good. I also don't agree with all the lessons that are taught in each of the stories. One of the stories could even be interpreted as encouraging an eye-for-an-eye retaliation behavior that I absolutely don't think should be brought into a classroom. To quote Ghandi, " An eye for an eye only leaves the world blind."
