A Child of Books

(3) K-3 In this love letter to literature, a girl and boy journey over "mountains of make-believe," through "forests of fairy tales," and so on, exploring a "world of stories." Multimedia illustrations place Jeffers's expressive, energetic depictions of the children amid Winston's stunning "typographical landscapes" composed of excerpts from classics such as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, "Hush-a-Bye Baby," Kidnapped, and others.
