In the tradition of all great folk tales, Someone is Reading This Book is the story of a prince whose only desire is to fly. In the enchanted forest, he meets a giraffe and bumbles his way through three wishes: he becomes a goose, then a prince with enormous wings, and then a prince on a flying bicycle! A cascade of stories, sub-plots and digressions provide a singular never-never-land adventure. The book's outstanding design, featuring lusciously colorful art, decorative borders and die-cut windows, adds yet another level of appeal for young readers.

Timmy, the youngest child and only boy in the family, has not yet grasped the seriousness of life. How could he? He is only eight years old, a typical boy, whose main goal is to have fun. His responsibilities are few. Still, he often tries to get around them - with convenient excuses. It's normal for this age group, you may say. So, read about little Timmy's personal views, his likes and dislikes, and about his antics, and then decide.

Here we have a bedtime story, with pictures, about the gentle night wind making its rounds. Through the woods it travels, across the fields and meadows, past the ponds, and over sleeping towns. On the way, the wind meets all kinds of animals, big ones and little ones, and it has delightful chats with them. For those that are supposed to go to sleep after a busy day, it sings a sweet lullaby. It calms the restless. Nocturnal animals, wide awake, searching for food or busy with social activities, fascinate the night wind. Even the flowers it passes are not ignored.Oh, the night wind has friends in many laces, and it likes to stop to say hello. Off and on, it loves to play games with them. But the visit the wind enjoys most is with two small children to whom it tells a bedtime story about all the wonderful experiences it has had on its nightly travels.
