Synopsis

Every day's an adventure with Isabella. Isabella turns a visit to the library into a journey through classic children's stories. She pretends she's Alice, falling down the rabbit hole; Peter Pan, flying off to Never Never Land; and Dorothy, following the yellow brick road. But at the end of the day, she's happy just being Isabella, the girl with a library card, a big stack of books to read, and an even bigger imagination.

About this title

Review:

"The third book in a richly rewarding series . . . Fosberry has found a wonderful way to engage a whole new audience while making our trip down the rabbit hole all the more meaningful." - Good Reads with Ronna

"Isabella gives new meaning to jumping into a book. The pages are designed as a kind of puzzle, challenging young readers to name each book Isabella has found. It's made for a read-aloud with grown-ups, who will appreciate the two pages of background on the six classic books in which Isabella immerses herself." - USA Today

"It's a match made in book-reading, library-loving heaven." - USAToday.com

"Fosberry's story is delightful. " - Terri Schlichenmeyer, Bookworm Sez

"Isabella, an imaginative, little purple-haired girl, discovers that reading is an adventurous and magical journey when her parents take her to the library, which turns into a whimsical dreamland of classic children's literary scenes . . . Storytellers will appreciate the introductions to the classics as Isabella discovers that all it takes is a library card and an imagination to soar through timeless tales." - School Library Journal
