For a young child what could be better than climbing into the lap of a beloved grown-up and listening to a story? Maybe just one thing: helping to tell the story yourself! Just for Me, Just for You is a vibrant and contemporary collection of playful, engaging, and gloriously illustrated stories designed to help young children participate in reading. By empowering kids and encouraging closeness between parent and child, this fresh and innovative book ignites an interest in reading and fosters a lifelong love of books. The trusted, award-winning team at Nick Jr. Family Magazine has gathered together many of today's most esteemed and best-selling children's book authors and illustrators, including Jack Prelutsky, Chris Raschka, Scott Nash, and Martin Matje. Each of these short, captivating stories celebrates the daily life and wonder of childhood -- from a backyard bug safari, to an imaginary playdate with aliens, to a peekaboo moon that follows you home. Specifically created for children and adults to share, these short stories are perfect for bedtime or anytime. There are wordless stories that encourage preschoolers to "read" to you all by themselves. Other stories invite kids to fill in a rhyme or chime in on a refrain.
