    This title is part of the Books Out Loud™ collection, designed to make literacy fun, easy, and accessible. Educators agree that read-alongs are a cornerstone of successful K–8 education. The practice of reading aloud and listening to professional narrators strengthens comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency. While read-alongs are wildly popular in schools, they haven’t been available or sold elsewhere until now. Books Out Loud™ takes these fabulous titles outside of the classroom for the very first time—in a unique and affordable hybrid format that will empower readers everywhere.
