I recently picked up the eighth edition of this book at my local goodwill because it's mentioned a lot in the Read Aloud Revival, which I also enjoyed. I like the way this book delves into the research behind academic achievement and encouraging literacy. Even if you're already doing a lot of the things mentioned in this book (like reading out loud to your kids), it's beneficial to know why it's important.
