I was reading this as a new teacher (it's my 2nd year!)and I wanted a refresher on picking read alouds, because I'll admit, I've had some flops! This book had a decent chunk dedicated to parents and families, and while I don't have children of my own, I found these sections great as a reference to use when parents ask me what they can do at home (and it's all research backed). 

The teacher and librarian parts were helpful refreshers. I didn't necessarily learn anything new but it has now reminded me what I've let slip between college classes and now teaching. I was able to set three goals for myself to try as this year continues. 

The read aloud treasury at the end of the book is extremely helpful as a new teacher trying to build a library in the classroom. I'm grateful for it.
