The dreamlike illustrations use a broad palette of bright colors and wispy textures to spark children’s imaginations, encouraging them to crack open a book and enter a world of winged dragons, musical sea creatures, and mice hanging stars on the moon.”—<I><I>ForeWord Reviews</I><I>, starred review??</I></I></P><P><I>For you unlock magic that is hidden within, </I><I>and opening the cover is how you begin.<BR/></I><I>Oh, all the worlds and the places you''ll see; </I><I>when you hold a book, you hold the key.</I></P><P><I>When You Open a Book</I> is a stunning ode to the world''s grandest adventure of all: reading a book.
