About the Book

A brilliantly written, laugh-out-loud rhyming text about books and the joy of reading in the vein of New York Times bestsellers It's a Book, How Rocket Learned to Read, and Dog Loves Books. Where have all the bedtime stories gone? One dark, dark night in Burrow Down, a rabbit named Eliza Brown found a book and settled down...when a Snatchabook flew into town. It's bedtime in the woods of Burrow Down, and all the animals are ready for their bedtime story. But books are mysteriously disappearing. Eliza Brown decides to stay awake and catch the book thief. It turns out to be a little creature called the Snatchabook who has no one to read him a bedtime story. All turns out well when the books are returned and the animals take turns reading bedtime stories to the Snatchabook.

Review :
"This whodunit with an uplifting ending will appeal to fans of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! . . . [it] celebrates bedtime reading as a ritual to be revered, and features a thief who merely wants to share in the fun." -- Shelf Awareness Pro "Snatchabook is that perfect, magical read-aloud! You'll be reading this story over and over again, so, don't be upset if the pages get a little worn around the edges." -- Carolyn Anbar, Watchung Booksellers, Montclair, NJ "A classic is born! The Snatchabook is an engaging and winsome story celebrating the precious tradition of bedtime stories...What a wonderful book for a child to find wrapped under their decorated tree this year! Highly recommended! " -- Nancy Simpson-Brice, Book Vault, Oskaloosa, Iowa "I dare you to try to read The Snatchabook silently to yourself. You can't do it. The book is so wonderful it demands to be read out loud. And besides, if you didn't read the book out loud, how would the Snatchabook hear it?" -- Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick "I nominate The Snatchabook as the star/poster child of a new Read to Your Child campaign.

" -- Terri Schlichenmeyer, Bookworm Sez "With rhyming text reminiscent of Dr. Seuss's work, this book refuses to be read silently. . .
