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.
