Description

An energetic, heartfelt, and humorous ode to book love


You can spin and twirl and dance with this book.
You can listen while someone else reads it.
You can take your book to lunch.
Just do not try to feed it.


Expertly whimsical illustrations accompany this rhyming celebration of the printed book, and the attachment many of us all feel to our very favourites. The imaginative humour is balanced by earnest devotion, traits to which the young audience will relate. A sure-to-be favourite, this title will draw giggles and snuggles ... with the book itself

Reviews

"Whimsical and imaginative celebration of the physical book. Really lovely to read aloud, this comes with echoes of Dr Seuss. " - The Bookseller
