Deep in the woods, a rabbit finds a mysterious object. "What is this?" he asks. "It looks like a wonderful house for me." And he wriggles inside for a nap. Later he hops away and a bear lumbers by. "What is this?" the bear asks. "It looks like a wonderful hat for me." And he puts it on his head. One by one different animals find the object and transform it into whatever they need it to be. But it's not until the little boy comes along and know exactly what it is. It's a wonderful book! And all the animals gather around to share the truly wonderful story that's inside.
This simple book, by Soviet Union born Leonid Gore, is the perfect book for young readers and listeners. This is a short story that has pages filled with illustrations to match the text perfectly which helps young readers understand the text which has some complex word choices. As each creature tries to use the book, it's not until the boy reads the story inside that they fully appreciate all that the story holds. The Wonderful Book would make a great beginning of the year story.
