Summary: A fairy tale not just for children
Comment: Although listed as a children's book, this book should be read by anyone who's interested in the wonderment of books. It's a delightful story about real characters in books who are alive - and not just in the reader's mind. When the book isn't open, they lie around getting bored but when a 'Reader' comes along, they scramble for their places and take up the story. So what happens when one of the characters actually meets the Reader and helps her with her problems? That's what you'll have to read the book to find out. This one is a must read for writers, readers, and anyone who's in love with the written word. It is a unique, new way of looking at fairy tales.

Summary: A book with Life
Comment: This is a great book. It's about Sylvie and her parent's kingdom. This may sound like a fairytale but it's not. The kingdom is a book. They live in the book and they are the characters. Townley manages to introduce you into a whole new world of the readers, the characters and the mind, and there is still a wonderful story between the description of how one character gets pinned down by a huge finger when the reader uses her finger as a bookmark, and how another character hinds himself between parentheses. The characters say things to believable that I found myself being careful to not let my finger rest on any words for fear that I might squish a character. This is a wonderful book and I would recommend it to everyone in sight!

Summary: Everyone should do "A Great Good Thing"
Comment: I have very little time for reading lately, but when my kids both recommended the library book I had casually picked out for them, I settled in for a quick read. I ended up reading the entire, short book before I would budge from the couch. It is an entertaining, imaginative, well-written, beautiful book for all ages.
I plan to give copies of this book for Christmas presents.
Do yourself a favor - use a Saturday afternoon to do "A Great Good Thing".
