A light-hearted picture book plays on the idea that reading a book is a very serious business

Reading serious books is a very serious matter. Or so thinks a seriously knowledgeable narrator who guides two young readers as they practice various ways of presenting a Very Serious Reader persona to the world.

For instance, wearing a stick-on mustache, glasses on the tip of your nose, and a pencil tucked behind an ear are all good ways to look studious while you read. And of course, every page should be turned with a flourish.

Humorously illustrated in comic-book style panels, this lighthearted picture book pokes fun at the idea of "serious" books and encourages kids to read what they like--because all books are meant to be seriously enjoyed.
