A Book is a Book Jenny Bornholdt & illustrated by Sarah Wilkins

I gasped with delight on my first encounter with this whimsical marriage of words and pictures, and I reverently turned the cream-coloured pages with their delightful illustrations. Obviously talented creators had fun celebrating everything to do with the wonder that’s the book. You too will be inspired to have lots of fun exploring with young readers what a book is, what it’s for, how to use it and what to do with it.

My favourite observation is that, ‘Some books are small because some writers are very tired.’ And of course, ‘A book can never run out of power.’ Hark, book lovers! This beautiful little treasure is for you.

Highly recommended.
