Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book?

Lauren Child (2003), 36 pages
Audience: K - 3rd Grade
Category: Fiction, Picture Books
Herb doesn't just love stories, he loves the pictures in the storybooks. His love of books is so great that one night during a sleepover, when he falls asleep on top of a book, he actually falls into a storybook. His first encounter is with the bratty Goldilocks and the three nice bears. He runs through multiple pages of the book, meeting different characters along the way, until he comes to Cinderella's castle. Here, Herb's previous period of book defacing comes back to haunt him. The characters in the book are not amused at the mustaches he drew on them, or the fact that he cut out the Queen's throne and drew telephones in all of the pages of his book. It seems like almost everyone in the storybook world is after Herb for his treatment of books, but will the fairy god mother and Cinderella be able to help him? Find out with Lauren Child's mixed-up fairy tale!
