Summary:     

A Book is the unique story of a girl in a book trying to find her story.  She wanders through multiple genres to try them on, but none seem to fit her. 

Review:
The illustrations in this book are particularly fun and done from the perspective of a reader looking down at the top of a small world; the characters in turn often look up and discuss or address the reader. A great introduction to genre for a younger reader and an enjoyable story or read-aloud.
