Review: Get Back In Your Books.

There's mayhem in the library. Just the way I like it, as it happens.

Characters jumping out of the page? Yep, all of our favourite characters will do that.

But maybe not literally...

Except in this case - they are.

The book characters are taking over the library.

Three little pigs, bears, pirates, grinning cats, wizards... McGowan's bright and cheerful illustrations capture the fun perfectly.

Our intrepid hero knows what he needs to do.

He has to round them up and wrangle them all back to where they belong. Back into their pages.

And solve the mystery of how they escaped the books in the first place.

Luckily, there are clues for the reader to figure out what is going on.

A shorter picture book, but brimming with fun. A celebration of the joy of books and reading.
