Kiss a crocodile all by yourself on the Nile River? How about learning how to bottle moonlight, or track a distant star?

But books are only smears of ink without the reader's mind to give their letters meaning and bring them to life. With a rollicking, rhyming text and delightful artwork, poet and storyteller Allan Wolf and illustrator Brianne Farley remind us that books, no matter how they may be consumed, give readers of every background an opportunity to expand their world and spark their imagination. With infectious enthusiasm, \u003ci\u003eNo Buddy Like a Book \u003c\/i\u003eoffers an ode to the wonders of language--written, spoken, and everything in between.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllan Wolf\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many award-winning books for children and teens, including\u003ci\u003e The Day the Universe Exploded My Head\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Blood-Hungry Spleen and Other Poems About Our Parts\u003c\/i\u003e.
