The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

A book for everyone! This is so well written and the underlying message gives the reader a sense of awe at what life truly can be can be compared to...books. A very tender story that you can't help but cheer for Mr.Morris Lessmore as he treasures books.

This story reminds me of my father, who wrote his memoirs, "I Am Still Here!" Love, love, love the whole concept, perhaps because I was a librarian for quite a few years. Lovely story and illustrations.

Stories like Morris Lessmore are rare...happiness, sadness, hope, loss, all wrapped up in one book with many life lessons that center around a love of reading, books, and thinking. Every family should own a copy.

This is a book that I absolutely love. The ending is wonderful and pertains to the idea of the circle of life and how it keeps going. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It's one of the first books that I read written by William Joyce and I couldn't have fallen harder for the story. There isn't anything to say that I don't like about this book as I am completely head over heels for it.

I read this book to first through fourth graders after viewing the short film on YouTube and my students adored it. There is also an ipad app that makes this book interactive and my students wanted to see it over and over again.

The book itself is charming and heart-warming, but when you pair it with the two outstanding apps for ipad that are made to go with it, it is just an amazing experience. I showed it to some colleagues and they purchased the book and apps for their children. The kids were so enchanted by it, one of the boys thanked me for showing it to his mom!

This book has beautiful llustrations and has a great message for children about the wonderful world of reading. What really makes it special is using the Imaginatron app on an iPad which makes the pages come to life! I had the opportunity to read this and project these special effects for a group of 4th graders and they were enthralled!
