“The Wonderful Book” Children’s Book Review

I love Scholastic and was excited to receive a copy of The Wonderful Book.  The Wonderful Book was written by Leonid Gore and can be purchased online and in stores, retailing for $16.99.

BOOK SYNOPSIS

Deep in the woods, a rabbit finds a wonderful object that serves as a cozy red tent for rabbit, until a bear comes along and uses the mysterious object as a hat!  One by one, different animals – including a fox, some mice, and even a worm – find the strange object and transform it into whatever they need it to be.  But when a little boy recognizes it as a book, all the animals gather around to share the most amazing story inside!

This is a heartwarming and delightful romp that is sure to become a classic for young book lovers everywhere.

MY THOUGHTS

My boys enjoyed this book and I enjoyed reading it to them.  The different ways the animals used the book were fun and we looked forward to the next animal and how he or she used the book!  I would love to check out other books by Leonid Gore.  Thanks to Scholastic for this book review!
