The Wonderful Book

The Wonderful Book by Leonid Gore is such a cute book. Children will love the story and cute animals Teachers and librarians can use it to start discussions on taking care of books and treating books right. This reminds me of the book Petunia where the goose doesn't know what to do with the book she finds in the woods.

In this book- a rabbit finds a mysterious object (a book). "What is this?" he asks. "It looks like a wonderful house for me." And he wriggles inside for a nap. Later he hops away and a bear comes by and finds the book. "What is this?" the bear asks. "It looks like a wonderful hat for me." And he puts it on his head. One by one different animals find the object and transform it into whatever they need it to be.
Finally, a boy comes by and finds the book and he knows exactly what to do- open it up and read it. And...It's a wonderful book! Soon, all the animals gather around to share the wonderful story that's inside.
