Helpful yes, but I have a feeling I'll still keep missing it. Notice the sentence in English doesn't use "to" She reads him her book vs She reads to him her book. (We naturally remove the to). I'll keep trying though. :)
this chart is organized to see how to use each pronoun before a verb. It might help you quickly answer your question when you see a particular pronoun, how it can work.

You've got it! It is whether the object, in this case 'her book', is masculine or feminine. Il libro here becomes "il suo libro* as book is masculine. You will know if it is 'her' or 'his' book from the context of the situation.
