Open a Book

 

I may not be able to run that fast

or hop around my garden,

I can’t backflip on my giant trampoline

or jump all the way to the park,

but in a book, I can.

 

I can explore oceans in my submarine

rocket all the way to Neptune and Mars,

make five enormous toffee cakes,

or pick up and carry the Eiffel Tower.

 

I can eat and dance with kings and queens

ride on elephants, giraffe and sharks,

scoop up ice cream for my magic cone

fly with the owls to watch the stars.

 

Open a book, it will take you there.
