What is a book?

A book is pages, pictures and words

A book is animals, people and birds

A book is stories of queens and kings

Poems and songs – so many things

Curled in a corner where I can hide

With a book I can journey far and wide

Though it’s only paper from end to end

A book is a very special friend.
