YOUR Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World Create a very favorite book just like Henley did. Maybe your child’s favorite book is a comic book, a picture book, a cookbook— or a book filled with fun facts, jokes, or riddles!

Try mixing and matching inspiration until you create the perfect nook! Dream Bookstore If you owned your own bookstore, what would it be called? What kinds of books would you keep in stock? How would you organize the shelves and displays to help kids discover books they might like to try? Work together to draw pictures of your plans!
