Product Description
This book is about a book. A magical red book without any words. When you turn the pages you'll experience a new kind of adventure through the power of story. In illustrations of rare detail and surprise, The Red Book crosses oceans and continents to deliver one girl into a new world of possibility, where a friend she's never met is waiting. And as with the best of books, at the conclusion of the story, the journey is not over.

 The Read Book September 10, 2008
Original, fun, clever, sweet and easy for little ones to follow, The Red Book has it all. My two year old has been taking it to bed with her every night for the past week. I think she likes that there are no words so she can "read" it to herself. Highly recommend this delightful book.

It feels like one of the episodes from the twilight zone. A girl finds the red book on the street. She reads the book and makes some sort of telepathic contact with a boy who is stranded on an island. She decides to go to him by hanging on bunch of balloons and ends up inside the book which is picked-up by another boy, and the story continues...until every kid on the block vanishes and ends up in the red book? Furthermore, my daughter also has this book, eerie.... One good thing is there are no words so you can make the story into anything you want, you can explain that she want to the island to rescue the boy or something.
Some people question the merit of receiving a Caldecott Honor but I have to say that it is beautifully illustrated which is a good enough reason for ME to buy the book.

My two year old daughter loves this book. She loves to make up the story herself, and she sees new things in the pictures each time she reads it. I wish there were more books like this, but she has had it for a few months now, and she still enjoys it. The illustrations are beautiful and expressive. She walks around the house with this book as if she's the little girl in the story. It's lovely.

What a awesome book it is. I would definitly recommend this book to everyone from young children to grown up adult. It is awarded for Caldecott Honor Book, and I know some of Caldecott books, I do not agreed with their choice, but this one is THE ONE! I originally found the book at book store a couple years ago, then every time I see it, I pick it up, and sit down, watch the illustration. It always makes me feel like I am in the book, I am the girl who picks the book off the street. One of the Top 10 children's book in my list.

This is a wordless picture book. I had purchased this book with other wordless books but it was not what I expected. The book has intricate levels of viewing and I had to look at the book two or three times to really grasp the meaning. It would be difficult for the average child to write a story for. It would work well with gifted students and their creative thinking. I teach second graders and this is there least favorite of my wordless books. I have had several tell me, I don't get it. It might work well with older children.
