The Book Machine: A Story About the Magic of Books

5 out of 5 stars

A little boy doesn’t have enough books, even though he has whole stacks of books to read. So he builds a Book Machine to create new books. He puts together all kinds of doodads and thingamabobs into a big elaborate machine and waits for it to spit out some books. But the machine doesn’t work! He will have to rely on a very different kind of machine to have the imagination to create new stories!

I loved this cute picture book! It’s so imaginative and fun! The little boy is super cute and smart, and he loves books. There is a section of the story where he makes up his own story, so there is like a little book within the book. Very meta. haha!

The illustrations are soft and whimsical! I loved the beautiful art style and the designs.
