Small Fry Friday Pick of the Week: A Child of Books

Cover image for A Child of Books

A Child of Books by Oliver Jeffers

I am a child of books. I come from a world of stories.

A little girl, a child of books, sails her raft across a sea of words and arrives at the house of a young boy.  She invites him to go away with her on an adventure into a world of stories . . . where, with only a little imagination, anything at all can happen.

Ms. Jen: A clever picture book about the boundless world of a child's ( or anyone's) imagination. Charming text from classic stories forms the shape of the illustration, ' mountains of make-believe', and, 'forests of fairy tales'. Check it out!

Spaced Out by Stuart Gibbs

There's nowhere to hid on the world's first moonbase.  After all, it's only the size of a soccer field.  So when the commander of Moon Base Alpha mysteriously vanishes, the Moonies are at a total loss.
Though he may be just twelve years old, Dashiell Gibson is the best detective they've got.  But this mind-boggling mystery pushes Dash to his limits.  Plus, it turns out he's got something else on his mind-and the fate of humanity might be at stake.
