A Child of Books by Oliver Jeffers, Sam Winston
5.0

A beautifully imaginative take on picture books!
I loved the illustrations and the art style, the mixture of photographs, text and sketches really work well together to create this imaginative world. The use of colour as the book progresses also works well.

The story itself is inspiring and gripping, almost poetic in nature, it uses the sound of an old fairytale to give an almost prophetic quality to the importance of reading and books.

I would recommend everyone reading this short story, no matter what age, and will definitely use it as a teacher.
