If you read to me
I will sit and listen
And follow every word you say.
If you read to me
I will not ignore you.
I will not get bored.
I may lie down
But just to rest my head.
I’ll hang onto every word.
I may sit or scratch
Or look around the room.
But I am still paying attention.
If you read to me
You will relax and keep right on.
You will like sharing your book.
If you read to me
You will get better and better
And I will always be proud of you.
If you read and read and read
You will fall in love
With books and words and reading.
Because you read to me.
