The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore (2011)



and this is why we should read books -

why we should cherish & never underestimate the power of the written word

and why a certain 11yr old girl child
who is more than capable of reading more than she does
will experience this moving short film 

 I think it could do more for the reading cause in this house
than me barking on about how she needs to read more

and if nothing else I've no doubt it'll leave a lasting impression....


                       



***** 11 year old girl child just finished watching this
and as she stood, having not flinched for 15mins
her first words were
"Ow that was great - I want a flying book"

....it's hard to have a win!
