The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

56 pp. | Atheneum | June, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4424-5702-7 $17.99
(3) K-3 In this affectionate love letter, a lady propelled by "flying books" tosses one to Morris Lessmore, which leads him to an enticing library. Years pass as he takes care of the animated volumes; finally the aged Morris flies away on the wings of books, his place taken by a girl. The multimedia illustrations are rendered in Joyce's Hopperesque style and luminescent colors.
