The Editha Series
by Jean Ingelow · from Wonder-Box Tales
Adapted Version
This is a story about a book. The book lived on a tall shelf. It was a blue book with pictures. The book was not happy at all. It felt very lonely every day. It wanted someone to read it. It waited and waited on the shelf. The days were very long and quiet. One sunny day, a little child came. The child saw the blue book. "Hello, book," said the child softly. The book felt very happy inside. The child took the book down. They sat in a big, cozy chair. The child opened the book carefully. They read the story together. The story was about a little cat. The cat liked to play all day. The cat played with a red ball. The cat jumped and ran fast. The child liked the story very much. The child smiled a big smile. The book liked being read to. It was a very, very good day. The next day, the child came back. "Let's read again," said the child. They read the book once more. The child read every single day. Sometimes they read in the morning. Sometimes they read at night. The book was always happy now. It was never lonely anymore. The book loved the child's voice. It loved the pictures they saw. It loved the story they shared. And the book was happy to be read.
