Newbery Medalist Kwame Alexander narrates the audiobook version of his How to Read a Book, a poetic journey about the experience of reading.

Find a tree—a

black tupelo or

dawn redwood will do—and

plant yourself.

(It’s okay if you prefer a stoop, like Langston Hughes.)

With these words, an adventure begins. Kwame Alexander’s evocative poetry takes listeners on a sensory journey between the pages of a book.

Super cool and unexpected alliterative metaphors! This book really beautified the simplistic for me. Yeah

Yeah yeah! Very informative

I am so glad I added this book to my library and even happier that I was going through my shorter books and rediscovered this. I have added it to my "favorites" bookshelf, so I am more likely to stumble across it again sooner. I also added it to my "books to share" bookshelf. Kwame Alexander has such a wonderful way with words.

A delightful poem
