Now I love to read , but sometimes you want someone else to do the work, especially if the book is supposed to be ‘good for you’. May I suggest have the author read to you? Here is Neil Gaiman reading his Newbery Medal winning book, The Graveyard Book.
Want something more dramatic? Why not listen to some dramatic readings from Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!, The 2008 Newbery winner.
And there is always the old fashioned way, why not watch a movie? Here is the movie trailer from one of my favorite Newbery books, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.
Wait… You want to know more about the book before you see a movie? Head on over to the Children’s blog for a review.
