Come; Enter the World of the Book.
It’s wonderful – that is if you care to look.
But first, you must understand,
What treasure you hold in your hand.

A book is alive, thriving on words.
I know – you must think this sounds absurd.
But it’s far from it, as each book has a task.
So, why not open it up and ask?

A book’s job is to intrigue, mystify, and capture.
To catch you unaware as it gets faster and faster.
Its job is to strap you in, buckled up tight,
And suddenly start on a marvelous flight.

It must get fast quickly, a ride that is wild.
It must be fashionable, and uniquely styled.
A book must imprison, hold you quite tight.
Until you know that’s what, and who’s right.

A book must fly, soar over the clouds.
Make you cry in pain, or laugh out loud.
It must dive into the dark, deep blue sea,
Or make a commotion at afternoon tea.

A book might make you curl up in fright.
Suddenly, you’re scared of what goes bump in the night.
It must make you think, see, and understand,
What is going on, in its own land.

My message has been sent,
Quite carefully today.
I really hope,
It has gone a long way.

So let it capture you,
And take you within.

Open up a book,
And let the fun begin!
