DESCRIPTION
Lovable monster siblings Natalie and Alphonse are back with big plans in a second surprisingly touching tale in which Natalie is ready to learn how to read.Natalie and Alphonse REALLY like books. Picture books with Dad, scary stories with Mom, and especially stories they remember or make up themselves. So when it’s time for Natalie to learn to read, she thinks it will be exciting — she can have all the stories in the world now, and even read them to Alphonse. But when Natalie gets her first reading book, the letters look like squiggles and it isn’t even a good story; it’s just about a cat that can sit. “I do not like books anymore!” Natalie declares. But she still wants to make up stories. With Alphonse’s help, can she find a way to turn a love of telling stories into a love of reading stories? With her one-of-a-kind voice and wonderfully droll artwork, Daisy Hirst captures the familiar frustration of struggling to learn something new — and the particular pride that comes when you finally succeed.

The monster siblings Natalie and Alphonse, from the children’s book ALPHONSE, THAT IS NOT OK TO DO!, are back in I DO NOT LIKE BOOKS ANYMORE! Natalie and Alphonse love stories. They love being read to and having stories told to them. Natalie decides she will learn to read so that she can read all the stories they want. However, learning to read is much more difficult than Natalie thought it would be. She learns a few words, but has trouble learning more and figuring out how all the letters make the sounds they do. She finally gives up. But then something happens and Natalie ends up learning to read, without even realizing it. The author, Daisy Hirst, mentions she had difficulty learning to read as a child and what happens to Natalie is what happened in her own life. I wasn’t a very big fan of ALPHONSE, THAT IS NOT OK TO DO! However, I really did enjoy I DO NOT LIKE BOOKS ANYMORE! It’s a better story, in my opinion.
