It's a short book of essays for grown-ups, covering the trouble with books that exist to teach a lesson, how to actually connect with kids, and \u003cem\u003eGoodnight Moon\u003c\/em\u003e, read very closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarnett is the U.S. National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, and he writes the Looking at Picture Books newsletter with Jon Klassen, who contributes illustrations here. Spreads from \u003cem\u003eGoodnight Moon\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBusy, Busy Town\u003c\/em\u003e are reproduced inside, and the cover is by Carson Ellis. It's written with as much humour as rigour, for parents, teachers, librarians and anyone who reads aloud for a living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e112 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46281933193263,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/7285\/7647\/files\/MakeBelieve-1.jpg?v=1790996872","url":"https:\/\/www.parkette.ca\/products\/make-believe-on-telling-stories-to-children","provider":"Parkette.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
