You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Mother Goose Tales to Read Together: By Mary Ann Hoberman

 This book contains 13 short nursery rhymes, each of them is about two pages.  This book has the text written in different colors, and it is meant to be read by two people or two groups of people alternating turns.  The story in this book are retellings of Humpty Dumpty, Jack Be Nimble, Jack and Jill, Jack Sprat, Little Jack Horner and Little Tommy Tucker, Little Boy Blue and Little Bo Peep, Little Miss Muffet, Old King Cole, and the Cat and the FIddle, Old Mother Hubbard, Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater, Pussycat Pussycat Where Have You Been, Simple Simon, and Baa Baa Black Sheep.  

If I am teaching a lower grade like I would like to, I definitely think I would use this book.  This book would be good to work on reading in smaller groups especially.  If I were having the students do quiet reading, I also think I would use this book and maybe pair a student who is struggling in reading with a more confident reader and have them each read a color.  I think this book is perfect for maybe late in the year for kindergarten or for first grade or struggling second graders.
