enchanting poem

WHEN BOOKS FALL OPEN



When books fall open
And you fall in
A great adventure
Will begin.

A princess, a Tigger
A flying broom
A magic hat
A pink kangaroo.

Yes, when books fall open
And you fall in,
A great adventure
Will begin.

A knight and his horse
A trip to the moon,
A talking dog
A big red balloon.

So pick a book
Crawl right in,
Then your journey
Shall begin.

My mom has this great Mary Engelbreit banner displayed in her classroom, and along with this poem, I'm reminded of all the times I listened to my elementary school librarian read to my class. I was captivated each time.
