Picture Book Adults Can Enjoy: A Child of Books

A Child of Books by Oliver Jeffers

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Yes I was definitely a "child of books" and I am still a fan of classical children's literature. I found this book to be a real treasure. This ode to reading feels personal and relatable at the same time. It's not often you can say a picture book can charm adults of all ages, but this one can. Many children will initially be drawn to the text-as-pictures illustrations but they will gain more from this book as they read it again and again throughout their lives. Recommended for anyone who wants an excuse to celebrate literature, the reading experience and imagination. A classic!
