This is the world Stephen Parlato creates in The World That Loved Books, a world where even the animals love to read. Illustrated with gorgeous, intricately detailed collages, this dazzling picture book conveys a sense of joy and wonder about the natural world. It's also a powerful fable about reading books and how they change the reader in marvelous and unexpected ways.

He fishes and fishes, but while he catches jellyfish and even an octopus, he can’t quite seem to get the lights in his grasp. Can the white cat help to show him that the perfect gift isn’t important, when he’s already captured her heart?
