Title: The Lonely Book
Author: Kate Bernheimer
Illustrator: Chris Sheban
Publisher: Schwartz & Wade Books, 2012
Ages 4 to 8
The green book with a picture of a girl in the forest under a toadstool was beloved by many. Boys and girls chose the book to take home from the library, using its yellow ribbon bookmark to save their place in the adventure. As time went on, the book was not enjoyed as frequently and its beautiful cover that had drawn so many children in was now faded and torn. Eventually the book was selected by Alice and read again and again, and the book no longer felt lonely. But events separated Alice from her book and it began a lonely adventure of its own. The lonely book doesn't stay lonely forever, when a twist of fate reunites Alice with her beloved book much later in life.
A gorgeously illustrated book that bookworms both young and old will enjoy. This book is best for ages four to eight.
