Embark in the dark
on a sparkling adventure.
Glide on the tide
to the rhythm of words.
Wait at the gates
of a towering castle.
Fly in the sky
on the wings of a bird.
Fight in the night
with the dragons and demons.
Flee to the sea
where the mermaids reside.
Dash to the clash
and the crash of a tempest.
Unlock the box
with its secret inside.
Lunch with a bunch
of baboons in the jungle.
Zoom through the gloom
where the fireflies glow.
Jump to the thump
of the language of letters.
A book is your ticket
to life. Off you go.
