2. What is a Book?
A book is pages, pictures, and words A book is animals, people, and birds; A book is stories of queens and kings, Poems, and songs - so many things! Curled in a corner where I can hide, With a book I can journey far and wide. Though it's only paper from end to end, A book is a very special friend.
By Lora Dunetz
