Oh! I Love Books
by Kenisha, Grade 6, Canberra (Australia)

They comfort and interest me,

The things they have written turn into images for me to see.

I always pick one up before bed,

For they give me sweet dreams ahead. 

​

I wonder why people prefer TV over books,

For me, I pick one up and like to read in a quiet nook. 

How does something so small hold something so interesting,

I find myself happiest when I am reading. 

​

The page's smell is so comforting,

I like it so much I feel like singing.

Ebooks are nothing compared to actually holding a book,

Reading them always makes me hooked. 

​

The beautiful smell and feel,

The words you write make me believe they are real!

People scanning the books in the library,

Until they are really weary.
 

I could not pick a favorite book,

Sometimes books are mistook.

I love you books, you are amazing,

You get me laughing and weeping. 

You are amazing books.
