Description: The I Wonder Bookstore by Shinsuke Yoshitake A delightful and witty illustrated celebration of the transporting magic of reading, books, and bookstores. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This charming illustrated book first published in Japan takes readers inside the magical realm of books and bookstores. In particular, the "I Wonder" Bookstore, where customers come in and ask the owner its namesake question ("I wonder if you have any books on …") and he is happy to fill their requests in often magical ways. In illustrated self-contained spreads and sequences, we see how to grow books on trees, books designed to be read by two (or more) people at once, books that can only be read by moonlight, bookstore weddings, an underwater library, a boot camp for charismatic bookstore attendants, and many more wonders that celebrate the transporting magic of reading, books, and bookstores in a timeless and delightful way.

Review "The I Wonder Bookstore has a cute theme that makes you think about the nature of books. Its perfect to savor yourself, or to read with a child who can help you pick out all the little details, and contemplate what some of the books would be like. Youll likely read it and re-read it and re-read it, noticing new details each time. Ask your kids which are their favorites. I recommend this lighthearted read to the young and young at heart." -Geek Dad"this book by award-winning picture book author Shinsuke Yoshitake captures the joy and universal love of books and reading in its whimsical vignettes and charming drawings."-Tri-City News"A vision of bibliophilia in an increasingly paperless world . . . .
