title: Books Need Love, Too!
author:  Monica Tierney 
description: <span>"A perfect early reader for an energetic, curious, and active child. It teaches children that books are valuable items that can improve their lives.

  To Terry
  
  After all these years and all these books,
  
  I am, I must confess, still quite mad about you.
