Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A young reader comes upon an alluring book and he starts to read, becoming blissfully unaware of increasingly odd and outlandish occurrences looming all around him"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Reading is wild, dangerous... fantastic! The possibilities are endless, the perils enormous--good thing it's just a story.</b> <p/>A boy happens upon a discarded book that transforms a library into an escalating series of near misses and close encounters with dastardly pirates, a herd of scooter-riding elephants, a big blue whale, and is that an alien in an Elvis wig? <p/>But surprise, he escapes without a scratch, because it's just a story... <p/>With an exuberant art style reminiscent of newspaper comic strips, illustrator Jeff Mack brings imagination to life in this riotous tale about the power of reading.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Extolling literature's transportive properties, this picture book follows a child who discovers a magical purple tome at the library. . . . A gently humorous reading adventure.--<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/>The deadpan text is a foil for the rowdy artwork, cheery scenes littered with clues for alert viewers: a tree sprouting out of the floor, a lion paw, book covers themed with the coming comical attacks, and a library lady who carries on unflappably throughout the mayhem.<b> --<i>Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books<br></i></b> <br>The imaginative power of a story, brought to life.<b><i> <b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jeff Mack is the author and illustrator of many books for young readers, including <i>Hush Little Polar Bear</i>, <i>Good News, Bad News</i>, and <i>Clueless McGee</i>. He has also illustrated award winning picture books and chapter books such as Eve Bunting's <i>Hurry! Hurry!</i> and James Howe's <i>Bunnicula and Friends</i>. He lives in Western Massachusetts.
