Written in a catchy rhyming style by bestselling author Gabby Dawnay, The Library Book will trigger a love of words in readers of all abilities, while Ian Morris’ inventive watercolour illustrations – which are reminiscent of two British illustration greats, Quentin Blake and Chris Riddell – make Zach’s emotional journey come alive. Through lively rhymes and dynamic illustrations, The Library Book helps early readers understand the plethora of books available to them through their local library and encourages parents, guardians and teachers to help children find books that appeal to their personal interests. These outcomes are most likely when reading takes place out of free choice.
As well as being linked to academic attainment, reading for pleasure can increase empathy, our understanding of our own identity, and improve mental health. The benefits of reading for pleasure are well researched.
