Customer Reviews

A wonderful children's story of themagical joy of reading.

A humerous tale of a young girl who hates books and can't escape them in her house - they are EVERYWHERE. But Meena discovers you can't judge a book by it's cover.As she attempts to rescue her cat from atop a tower of books she has refused to read, characters literally fall from the pages to find themselves confused and lost. When they look to Meena to help them back home she realizes she has no idea where they go. What's a girl to do? The solution of course is remarkably simple and Meena finds herself enthralled by the very books she ignored for so long. A wonderful tale of the magic of books. Children should enjoy the colorful illustrations especially of the bookstrewn household and the many charcters that Meena has to help home.
