101 Ways to Read a Book
by Timothee de Fombelle
Age Range: 9-11
Award-winning French author Timothée de Fombelle’s insightful observations of the 101 ways in which a book can be read is an absolute delight to pour over and a true celebration of the joys of reading. With pithy descriptions he takes the reader on an incredible journey – “The Riveted” who keeps going until “the end” or “The Sleepwalker” who “lives dangerously ”, their absorption in their book leads them precariously close to falling into an open manhole. Various poses are adopted when reading: “The Ostrich”, buried under the covers or “The Bed Bug” who “triumphs over adversity”. On holiday there are different ones too: from “The Parasol” who can “bask for hours” to “The Lobster” who “is almost cooked”. The final pages take on a more serious note, telling the reader that “The Heroes persevere” and “The Imaginative transform the world”.
There are many types of readers captured in this whimsical and droll book, translated by Karin Snelson and Angus Yuen-Killick. Every pose has been keenly observed in comic-style artwork by Benjamin Chaud. Together with the attention to detail and lively vibrant colours which perfectly complement Fombelle’s witty text, this is a perfect book for all those book lovers whatever their age.
