Once Upon a Book

Grace Lin, Kate Messner

On a cold winter day, bored Alice disrupts a book lying on the floor and enters its pages. Her journey moves through several imagined places: a tropical forest, then a desert on a camel, before weather sends her onward each time. Talking animals and visual hints accompany the adventure, including an unnamed white rabbit. Although the book offers one enticing escape after another, the smells of dinner and comfort of home ultimately draw Alice back to her family table.
