2. What is a Book?
A book is pages, pictures, and words
A book is animals, people, and birds;
A book is stories of queens and kings,
Poems, and songs - so many things!
Curled in a corner where I can hide,
With a book I can journey far and wide.
Though it's only paper from end to end,
A book is a very special friend.
By Lora Dunetz
