Charming rhyming prose by Kaz Windness is illustrated by artist/illustrator Heather Brookman Lee to create a love letter for books everywhere. Books are a treasure trove to be explored and loved. With a nod to Dr. Seuss (Oh, The Places You'll Go) and Margaret Wiseman Brown (Goodnight Moon) plus The Little Engine That Could and Little Red Riding Hood, readers are bound to recognize books they've encountered before. A wink and nod to Clifford the Big Red Dog and Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus as well.
Pages of books are featured in many of the illustrations and of course, the most important place of all: the library! Simply a fantastic book to read aloud and for storytime. A winsome choice for a bedtime read.
End pages are pale green and not illustrated or decorated which would have made this picture booka ten in design. Sadly, the publisher (for whatever reason) did not think it was worth investing in extra expense.
Highly recommended ages 2 and up.
