A Book to Savor

If you're looking for a delightful and thought-provoking reading experience, look no further than Catherine Rayner's new book Harris Finds His Feet. This is not a book to be rushed through in the mad dash for bedtime. Though it's short, with only a few lines of text on each page, this is a book that should be savored with your child.

Beautiful water color illustrations spread out on every page, bringing to life the story of Harris, the wild hare, who learns to find his feet with the help of his Grandad. He shows Harris how to use his enormous feet to hop into the sky, climb to the tops of mountains, and run very fast. Grandad finally decides it's time for Harris to discover the world on his own--leaving readers with a bittersweet and thoughtful end to this story. Children will connect with Harris' journey of independence, and parents will appreciate the lesson of self-discovery.

This book also serves as a versatile reading tool, with text that kids as young as second grade can tackle, and rich vocablary words for older kids to really sink their teeth into. But, because the pages are so visually stunning, don't be surprised if they opt to be read to!

So, next time you're looking for an eye-pleasing and touching read, introduce your child to Harris!
