The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
by William Joyce
Age: K-3rd grade
Mr. Morris Lessmore has always enjoyed books. "His life was a book of his own writing, one orderly page after another." After an unforeseen disaster strikes, Morris is at a loss for words--even the words of his book have been lost. Without much else to do, Morris begins to wander until he decides to look up one day. There, fluttering up through the skies is a "festive squadron of flying books." Upon following the books to an extraordinary library, Morris finds purpose in caring for the books. Even greater, is how the books begin to care for him.
Fantastic, emotionally-rich pictures with an expertly crafted story allow the love of books to emanate without cheesiness, pompousness, or boredom. A great book to discuss further with children.
