Hideaway

A brother and sister play in a special secret hideaway surrounded by trees. They imagine that they are running through the grass with wild animals. They play with masks. They made shadow puppets.

101 Ways To Read A Book
by Timothée de Fombelle, Benjamin Chaud (Illustrator), Karin Snelson (Translator), Angus Yuen-Killick (Translator)

4 out of 5 stars

Did you know that there are many ways to read a book? You might read in a window seat with the sun streaming in. You might read under the table, at the beach, in a blanket fort, on the train, or at the top of a ladder. You could read alone, or share your books with others. You might slouch, or walk, or snuggle in bed, or use your head as a bookmark. Maybe you are the type of reader who leans their chair back at a dangerous angle. Maybe you hog all the cushions.
But it surprisingly rare to see anyone actually sitting up in a chair to read!
