Day the Books Disappeared The

<b>All-star authors Joanna Ho (<i>Eyes That Kiss in the Corners</i>) and Caroline Kusin Pritchard (<i>The Keeper of Stories</i>) team up with Caldecott Medalist and National Book Award Winner Dan Santat in this celebration of the freedom to read.</b><br><br>Arnold didn't mean for the books to disappear—not exactly. It all started because he liked <i>his</i> book about airplanes best. Why would anyone want to read about <i>tomatoes</i> or <i>ostriches</i> or <i>submarines</i> (ew, the worst!) when they could read about planes, instead?<br><br>When Arnold realizes—<i>POOF!</i>—he can make the other books vanish, he goes a <i>little</i> too far. Before he knows it, all the books are gone…including his. Can Arnold figure out how to bring them back before it’s too late?<br><br>This book about books celebrates themes of empathy, interconnectedness, and the value of diverse and differing perspectives.
