What to expect
You don't have to keep them on a lead or throw them a stick.
They'll wag their words whenever you flick their dog-eared pages.
Even howl an ancient tale for the inward-listening ear.
Did you know that a book can take you anywhere? You only need to turn the pages of a story, and in a moment, you and your book could be crossing the waves in a pirate ship... or diving with mermaids... or even snoozing with a dragon.
Books really DO make good pets! Why don't you peep inside this one, and take your mind on an adventure?
This delightful original poem is the perfect listen for anyone who delights in the magic of a good book. Agard's evocative, lyrical style is perfectly performed by him in this audiobook, transporting the listener into an enchanting world of imagination.
