Once upon a time there was a little girl called Mabel. A girl who didn't like books. She used them for all sorts of things, from juggling to sledging, but she NEVER looked at the stories inside. Until the books decided they had had ENOUGH!

A mesmerizing picture book about the magic of stories that is perfect to share with both keen and reluctant young readers.
