We love a short, cozy, witty little novel! This one is super cute. I especially enjoyed the wordplay and all of the clever little plays on the reading process. This would be great to read with kids!

What an adorable book! It captures every bibliophile’s love of reading in a clever way. It also creatively discusses reading skills like skimming and context of words when you don’t know their meaning. It was very cute!

I would actually give this 3.5 stars but rounded up for creativity and the illustrations. This was an interesting story of a mouse named Cervantes who lives in a bookstore and gets pulled into the actual story in a book. There was some cute word play and some lessons learned by Cervantes but I still prefer 'The Phantom Tollbooth' by Norton Juster. :)

Clearly intended for kids, but the conceit was interesting enough to surprise and delight me (an alleged adult) as well. It took a little bit to -get- to the part I found interesting, but I really did quite enjoy the book.
