Originally published in 1977. Learning to read is probably the
central educational achievement of any child's life. It is also a
central concern for parents and teachers. Leila Berg, known for her
work in children's literature, believes that the enjoyment of books
and the acquisition of reading and writing is not primarily an
academic or a technical skill, but grows from a warmly physical and
emotional base of shared enjoyment with another human being. This
book traces the varied ways that babies learn to communicate, and
discusses the place of books in the lives of different groups in
the community. It examines the types of books used in school, and
demonstrates that, in many cases, books themselves provide the
major inhibition to the development of reading through their
stilted and often formalistic vocabulary. The author's aim is that
all children's first experience of reading should be a loving and
sensuous one, so that they can come to discover the power of books
themselves.
