The Book of Holes - Rated 5 Stars by Eleanor
$2.99 to FREE
When the original Book of Holes was first published in Denmark in 2006, it was unlike any other children’s book on the shelves. It wasn't a once upon a time story or a humdrum A-B-C book. Instead, it was a book about nothing—and everything. It was a work of art with a hole in the middle that you could stick your finger through. It was praised by critics as “genius” and “one of the most fantastic illustrated books I've ever read.” And, most importantly, it was a book that encouraged parents and children to talk to one another.
