Staake, Bob The Book
of Gold PICTURE BOOK Schwartz and Wade
Books, 2017. $17.99 Content: G.
A little boy named Isaac isn’t interested in much of anything. His parents try to peek his curiosity because
they love books so much, but Isaac finds most things boring. One day at an antiques shop, an old
shopkeeper asks Isaac if he’s heard about the Book of Gold that can answer any
question and when opened turns to solid gold.
Isaac begins a life-long quest to find the book, and along the way he
begins to form questions of his own and enjoys reading and traveling and gaining
new knowledge. As an old man, he visits
the library and there sees a little boy where he asks the little boy if he has
seen the Book of Gold.
This is a
fantastic story! In the beginning the
illustrations are muted in brown and white, but as Isaac’s curiosity grows and
he reads more the world gains color.
When he is an old man, the world turns gold. Great for book lovers as a gift and curious
young readers as well.
EL (K-3) , GIFT –
