The Book No One Ever Read
The Book No One Ever Read | Cornelia Funke
10 posts | 9 read | 15 to read
What if books want to be read as much as we want to read them? This is certainly true of our young hero inThe Book No One Ever Read. Morry, a young book, is tired of standing still on a shelf amid dignified first editions, and yearns for the excitement of sharing his story with a child. The books and illustrations withinThe Book No One Ever Read pay homage to some of Cornelia Funke's favorite authors, who crowd the shelves of the library the story is set in: Robert Louis Stevenson, Victor Hugo, Shel Silverstein, and many others. The inspiration for Morry is Maurice Sendak, author ofWhere The Wild Things Are.

Interesting tribute by an author to many authors who have inspired her.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book is so cute. It is very reminiscent of the movie The Pagemaster. The books all have their own personalities, and Morry wants to be read. He wants what the other library books do not. He wants sticky fingers and chocolate smudges. Most of all he wants read. A fabulous book for any age, with really fun illustrations.

Super cute book about a book that just wants to be read even if that means his pages get sticky and creased. Do you recognize "Morry" the book? #Anditwasstillhot #raisingreaders #libraryreturns

Picked this one up at Blue Willow Bookshop. I always enjoy #booksonbooks and the artwork of the book covers is spot on for the titles.
