Description
An interactive, playful picture book about getting lost in a book-literally!
Two best friends, Chad and Oliver, take a leisurely stroll through a book, but when Oliver disappears, they soon find out that some books can be an adventure!
With each turn of the page, things go hilariously from bad to worse as everyone who comes to help slips into the same situation-that is, until a librarian comes to the rescue.
With a creatively spare design, this highly original, interactive picture book from nationally syndicated cartoonist Chris Britt is not only laugh-out-loud funny, but also a great primer for kids on the anatomy of a book.

Reviews / Votes
"[T]his tale empowers kids to take charge of the characters' fates. Britt's energetic and entertaining writing should pull in even the most reluctant of readers...It's a hysterical story with an uplifting message about the power of literature that begs to be read again and again. Warning: a funny and delightful book to get lost in." * Kirkus Reviews * "Britt...offers a more unconventional experience here. Knocking down the fourth wall, he involves his audience in rescuing those who fell into the gutter. Meanwhile, Britt's lively pictures draw viewers into the many amusing scenes in this droll, adventure-filled picture book." * Booklist *More details
