This poem compares a book to a house, a treasure chest, a farm, and a tree full of leaves.

Editorial Reviews

Tunie Munson-Benson
Lyon invites the reader to wonder at the object in hand, and then simply to wander.
— Riverbank Review
From The Critics
This oversize picture book, really an illustrated free verse poem, pays tribute to books and reading. The full page paintings embrace both the words and the sprit of the text and bibliophiles will find themselves in complete agreement with the author's exalted view of books and reading. While younger readers may also agree with the sentiments expressed, they may wish they were reading a book that actually did the things this book talks about books being able to do. Teachers of English, though, will delight in the extended metaphors that make up this literacy tribute and will be tempted to use this book as a springboard for their students to use when creating their own pieces of poetry.
