Editorial Review:

Product Description:
I like the way you open.
I can turn your pages by myself.
I like the way you close.
I can put you on my shelf.

Books can be for silly times or quiet, for reading alone or sharing . . . but always to enjoy. A small child discovers their magic for the very first time in this exuberant ode to book appreciation by award-winning poet Kristine O'Connell George. Brightly colored illustrations are a perfect match for the spare, rhyming text, and thick pages with rounded corners make this a special first "real" book for baby.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Instant Favorite!
We got this book from the library a couple of weeks ago, and it has become my 19-month old's favorite. He loves it so much that he will be getting his own copy for Christmas. He loves books, and so he really relates to the story. He especially likes it when the boy in the story puts the book on his head and then I put the "Book!" on HIS head. He always gives a big smile. One warning, though, don't get this book unles you like reading the same book with your little one over, and over, and over again!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Wish I had Run Across This Sooner - a review of "Book"
We are a home of book lovers. When my first child was born she had books waiting for her, and I wish this had been one of them.

I really like the pro-book stance this author takes. And the delight that the boy has in his *own* book is obvious from the illustrations.

He takes it everywhere with him. Has fun 'reading' it on his own, putting in the shelf all by himself. He even reads it to his cat and shows it to his baby sister/brother.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Adorable!
Kristine O'Connell George does a beautiful job sharing the joy of a first book with readers young and old. The illustrations are colorful! Really a joy to read. I recently checked it out from the library to share with my 11 month old and she will be receiving her own copy for her first birthday. It is perfect for toddlers because of its stiff and easy to turn pages and rounded corners. Enjoy!
