Books make good pets and don't need going to the vet. You don't have to keep them on a lead or
throw them a stick. They'll wag their words whenever you flick their dog-eared pages. Even howl
an ancient tale for the inward-listening ear. Did you know that a book can take you anywhere?
You only need to turn the pages of a story and in a moment you and your book could be
crossing the waves in a pirate ship... or diving with mermaids... or even snoozing with a
dragon. Books really DO make good pets! Why don't you peep inside this one and take your mind
on an adventure? This delightful original picture book poem is the perfect gift for anyone who
delights in the magic of a good book. Agard's evocative lyrical style is perfectly
complemented with illustrations by Momoko Abe whose colourful visuals add character
transporting the reader into an enchanting world of imagination.
