Description

A boy investigates a squirrelly situation to track down his missing stories in this charming ode to book lovers of all kinds.

Spencer loves to read. He reads a book every night. But one morning his favorite book goes missing, and in its place is a tulip. Spencer searches high and low, but he can’t find his book.

The next morning another book is missing, a nut in its place. And the morning after that, another book is missing.

What is happening to Spencer’s books? When he finds out, Spencer devises a surprising solution that will delight readers (and librarians) everywhere.

Editorial Reviews

"a story that should quickly find its way into the hearts of book lovers of all ages."

March 2015

"A perfect introduction to the concept of libraries for the youngest readers."

March 2015

* "Fans of Mo Willems will especially appreciate the family dynamics and expressive artwork. The brilliant combination of art and text will capture the imaginations of both bibliophiles and less-than-enthusiastic readers."

February 1, 2015

"will resonate with kids who love their books—and their libraries."

April 2015

"This book has big beautiful illustrations, sparse text, and a message that will be enjoyed by young readers."
