You Read to Me, I'll Read to You

You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Fairy Tales to Read Together
Written by Mary Ann Hoberman
2004

This book features eight short fairy tale poems, plus an introductory and ending poem, all written for two voices. Some of the poems are intended for one speaker to speak at a time, while others also have portions to be read by both speakers in unison. The poems are all familiar and have colorful (and somewhat comical) illustrations to accompany them. These would provide an excellent opportunity for students to be creative and dramatic in their reading, and to make it their own. A great discussion and lesson about character and point of view could begin with this book.
