Reviews

This book provides educators and practitioners a sense of the multifaceted character of parents and children's enjoyment of shared reading practices in diverse families. This new research offers genuinely innovative insights into children and families' reading practices in the home. This book should be welcomed by all those who care about children's literacy and language practices in home and community settings. Kate Pahl, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
