About This Book
A parent might reach for this book to nurture a child's love for reading and imaginative play. It speaks directly to children who create elaborate worlds in their rooms and dream of them coming to life. In this classic tale by Edith Nesbit, siblings Rosamund and Fabian build an entire town out of the books in their family library. Their game takes a magical turn when they shrink down and enter their own creation, only to find themselves trapped. The story gently explores themes of creativity and wonder, but also touches on feeling scared and finding the courage to solve a problem. It’s a wonderful choice for independent readers or as a family read-aloud to celebrate the magic hidden inside every book.
