Come, Read with Me

Join two young children as they begin an adventure through a world of books in this story-within-a-bedtime-story.

This metered read-aloud pays homage to classic children’s literature. Readers of all ages will love searching among the pages for characters they recognize from fairy tales and beloved picture books. Spiders weave words and mythical dragons soar as the children travel through magical lands guided by the rhythm and rhymes of acclaimed author Margriet Ruurs. Little ones will want to cuddle closer and settle in for a delightful journey before drifting off to sleep.
