Inspired in part by the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, William Joyce’s The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is an illustrated foray into a world where books with good stories fly and reading a book is as much a physical adventure as a mental one.
If you had a chance to see the Academy Award Winning short film of the same title, then this book is going to seem familiar. This poignant story of the physical book is relevant to any book lover in this age of e-book.
