The Highest Mountain of Books in the World

48 pp. | Peter Pauper | August, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4413-1999-9 $16.99
(4) K-3 Translated by Mara Lethem. Lucas longs to fly with wings until his mother offers him a book, saying, "there are other ways to fly." This well-intentioned ode to imagination is fairly unimaginative itself; Lucas only understands her meaning after obsessively reading (and sitting upon) a lofty tower of books. But readers will likely enjoy this Spanish import's illustrations of Lucas atop his bookish mountain.
