Description
Drawing on his experiences as a child, a parent, and an inner-city teacher in Paris, Pennac reflects on the power of story and on how we learn to read--what helps us and what gets in the way. He reminds us of our right to read anything, anywhere, at any time, as long as we are enjoying ourselves.

Description
Deep below snowy, cobblestone streets, tucked away in networks of winding subterranean tunnels, lives a civilization of hardworking mice, terrified of the bears who live above ground. Unlike her fellow mice, Celestine is an artist and a dreamer, and when she nearly ends up as breakfast for ursine troubadour Ernest, the two form an unlikely bond.
