(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marion Arbona. After being sent to the study to "think things over," a reluctant reader picks up a "good little book" and falls in love. When he loses the book, he despairs, only to realize that stories continue to live in his imagination. Vibrant, bold, borderline-surreal gouache paintings enliven this (somewhat didactic) fable that will probably appeal most to book-loving kids.
