Description
A beautifully produced, small-format jacketed hardback with simple illustrations that are whimsical yet humorous. A book is to read. A book belongs in a library, on a bookshelf, in a bookshop, in your house. A story belongs wherever a story belongs. If it's Sunday and raining, a book is the perfect thing. Even a small book, because boredom can be very big. You can read a book while you walk, but you have to be careful not to bump into things.
"We've enjoyed stepping back and thinking about what it is we value about books and reading. Every time we read A Book Is a Book , we have a different favourite page." Julia Marshall, Publisher
