Rezensionen

"I was delighted to see this book - as a school librarian, encouraging children to love books and reading is close to my heart, and this excellent book will really help with that. A book that is definitely for librarians (in school and in the community) as well as teachers... It is essential that we encourage our children to love books and reading, and this book is ideal to do that."- Parents in Touch
