The library that loomed before me was older than time, with books in every colour; peach, teal or lime.
The books on my right were jam packed with information,
From the breeds of dog, to the first space station.
The books on my left were full of surprise,
From mystery, romance, action and lies.
The Aesop's Fables have messages from the heart,
Anne of Green Gables, you feel like you've known her from the start. Harry Potter is perfect for you fantasy readers,
Spirit Animals has action about animal leaders.
Some stories are about dogs and cats,
Some stories are about epic combats.
Some books are about lifestyle, cooking and the garden,
Some books are biographies on authors like Rick Riordan.
The library is perfect for everyone,
aunt, cousin or grandson!
