The Book Machine: A Story About the Magic of Books

Wrote a review for

"I need more books. I just can't get enough."

Oh boy, how true that statement is!!!


This book was so cute. Encouraging too for kids to write their own stories.


While I read this book to my son, he said the boy looks like me with my so many books. My son loved the story because there was dragon included. He understood that the book machine was only the metaphor of you need to write your own story.


My son might be only 5 years old but he (and I) regularly write our journal of the day. Sometimes he also makes me write his imagination stories. Again, this book has encouraged my son to bravely and confidently tell me his stories, no matter imagination or based on real life events.


My son and I loved the illustrations so much. They also elaborated the story well.


Thank you to Laurie Duersch, Familius, and NetGalley for the ARC.
