"The story that inspired the Academy Award-winning short film"--Jkt.
Morris Lessmore loves words, stories and books; after a powerful storm carries him to another land, dreary and colorless, he finds a single book in color that leads him to an amazing library where, he learns, the books need him as much as he needs them.
Ages 4-8.
