No Buddy Like a Book

<b>Calling readers and daydreamers word mavens and lovers of adventure! This celebration of the power of books is a rallying cry for letting imaginations soar.</b><br><br><i>We learn important stuff from books.</i><br><i>We learn to speak and think.</i><br><i>We learn why icebergs stay afloat . . .</i><br><i>and why </i>Titanic<i>s sink. </i><br><br>Have you ever wanted to climb to the top of Everest with one hand behind your back? Kiss a crocodile all by yourself on the Nile River? How about learning how to bottle moonlight or track a distant star? There are endless things to discover and whole universes to explore simply by reading a book. But books are only smears of ink without the reader&#146;s mind to give their letters meaning and bring them to life. With a rollicking rhyming text and delightful artwork poet and storyteller Allan Wolf and illustrator Brianne Farley remind us that books no matter how they may be consumed give readers of every background an opportunity to expand their world and spark their imagination. With infectious enthusiasm <i>No Buddy Like a Book </i>offers an ode to the wonders of language&#151;written spoken and everything in between.
