Overview
A light-hearted picture book plays on the idea that reading a book is a very serious business
Reading serious books is a very serious matter. Or so thinks a seriously knowledgeable narrator who guides two young readers as they practice various ways of presenting a Very Serious Reader persona to the world.
For instance, wearing a stick-on mustache, glasses on the tip of your nose, and a pencil tucked behind an ear are all good ways to look studious while you read. And of course, every page should be turned with a flourish.
Humorously illustrated in comic-book style panels, this lighthearted picture book pokes fun at the idea of “serious” books and encourages kids to read what they like—because all books are meant to be seriously enjoyed.
