Book Review: This Book is Alive! (unique children's book)(OT)

This Book is Alive! by Justine Avery (Suteki Creative, 2020, 40 pages, $14.95, ages 4-10)

The cover looks 3-dimensional and when you pick it up you never want to put it down again - who has ever held a softer, smoother book? (Suede?) Have you ever held a conversation with a book? I have, now. And so can you.

This Book is Alive!

All books are alive - they come to life when opened and read, taking the reader to different times, different worlds, different places, different languages, different cultures, different adventures that never stop - until the book is closed. But it remains ready and willing to be continued the next time you open it up to read the rest.

With lovely sepia-toned pages, and mostly brown cursive writing though easily read, this book actually talks to your child. And what book title is a sentence? (other than this one, that is.)

Books communicate and this book asks questions of the reader and answers others - all books are unique. All people are unique and to be valued.

Ah, The Possibilities!

"A book can be anything it wants to be - just like you!"

"Lend this book freely! It's yours - you own it. So, pass it on, trade it in, exchange it with and recommend it to other readers. Books are the very best gifts."
