Books by Murray McCain & Illus by John Alcorn


This book is outrageously colorful. A toy shop we were in near Philiadelphia had five copies of this on top of the bookshelves to announce the book area and believe you mean, it was rather powerful! 

This book is a joyous celebration of all things books! 


Glancing through this I was amazed how completely the illustrator nailed that weird 1960s-70s Monty Python vibe. Then I checked the publication date and realized it WAS published in the 1960's. Hence the vintage feel. 


This book celebrates all the things we love about books.


Look at that dust jacket


Most books are just right for holding.


Look at the font variations and the coloring. 


A list of things books can be about.


These illustrations! The insane pink eyed lion! 


Books can be for coloring (or is that colouring?) or singing. 


Then we get into the words in the books. Here are some hard words


Some happy words. 

I think every person would have a different list of happy words. But I love reading other peoples! 


Funny words! 


All the different potential fonts
