“You have your own book machine built right inside of you too. What books will you make?”

The Book Machine is a wonderful picture book about a child who loves books so much that he decides to try to make his own. It encourages imagination, trial and error, and creativity. If I’d read it as a kid, it definitely would’ve made me want to go create my own book as soon as I was done reading this one! And it is beautifully illustrated too :)

A story about a little boy that loves books and reading. He loves books so much he makes a book machine so he can read as much as he wants. The little boy soon realizes he has nothing to fuel his machine so he will have to come up with the story. This is a gorgeous book full of great ideas. The book also offers tips on how to write your own story. This book is perfect for a classroom, library project, or a homeschooler to get inspiration to create their own book.

The Book Machine by Laurie Duersch spoke to my heart. This is a story for book lovers of all ages. The opening line, 'I need more books.' is something many of us think. I love how this book sparks creativity with young scholars and encourage readers to use their imagination. I also found the build your own story steps at the conclusion of the book to be a great addition. This gives readers a great foundation to write their own stories. I enjoyed reading this book.

I absolutely love this book. It just me smile to see this little kid be so excited for reading and having an imagination. The coloring and illustrations were beautiful. I think this book would be so cute for little readers to have to show that books are so much fun and a journey. I definitely would buy this for my little kiddos to showcase how amazing reading is and books are. What a great and cute read!
