This book is about Morris Lessmore who loves to read. He thinks his life is like a book and everyday he writes what has happened to him. One day a storm passes through town and blows all the words from his book. His world is then left very grey. He wanders around until a lady holding onto flying books comes past and gives him one of her books to read. She then shows him the way to the local library. When he is there he takes care of the books and his life becomes colourful again.
I liked this book a lot. I thought Morris Lessmore was an interesting character – I like him because he likes words, stories and books and so do I. The story is about love, hope and sorrows. It tells you how when words disappear, your life can become greyer. When Morris has books back in his life again, he becomes brighter and happier. Morris has a more fulfilled life when he is surrounded by what he loves. I would like to live in a library like Morris Lessmore and look after all the books.
I would give this book 10/10 and recommend it to other children. I love it so much that I read it over and over again.
