The story was sweet about a little girl who loves reading books. The illustrations are good and they are made out of words from books and letters.

Conveys the power of the written word.
I like the identifiable texts woven into the pictures - adults will appreciate this too.

This book has a boy and girl who sail across an ocean of words from books

I liked that some pictures were made of words. It was a good book because the child said anyone could come in her house which was like a library. This was a good first book to read and I would recommend it.

i thought it was a very interesting book, i really like the story and i love the illustrations and my favourite page is when i read: ‘we can lose ourselves in a forests of fairy tales’ that is my favourite phrase in the book.

This book was shorter than I thought from looking at it. I don't think it explained things very clearly.

I loved this book and read it three times. We are going to copy out the words so that we have got them to keep forever.

i thought it was a bit sad because there was a sad man in it
