7. 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.
By Lora Dunetz

“You are old, little book,” the small boy said.
“Yet your pages are still clean and white,
Your covers are stiff and your covers are straight,
Do you think at your age it is right?”
“When I was young,” said the book.“ I came into the hands
of children who handled me with care.
They opened me gently and their fingers were clean.
My margins they kept clean and fair.
They never used pencil as bookmark nor tried
To pull me apart when they were angry
With such kindly treatment my strength and
My looks will last me the rest of my life.”
