No Buddy Like a Book

What is it that a book does for us? Well, we learn to speak and to think, we learn how to bake and cook, read and write, or play instruments. Yet, a book is really nothing but ink without the reader’s mind and the imagination they bring to it. Hop on the Book Express. It can take you to the greatest place in the world: your own imagination. You can learn anything from books. You can learn the names of the planets and how far away they are. You can even learn how to build a telescope so you can see them more clearly. What is it like to climb a mountain? Books can help you understand. What animals live in Africa? How many birds are there and where do they live? Books can help you learn all these things, and your imagination can take you there.
