Julia Donaldson - I opened a book and in I strode. Now nobody...

I opened a book and in I strode. Now nobody can find me.I've left my chair, my house, my road, My town and my world behind me.I'm wearing the cloak, I've slipped on the ring,I've swallowed the magic potion.I've fought with a dragon, dined with a kingAnd dived in a bottomless ocean.I opened a book and made some friends.I shared their tears and laughterAnd followed their road with its bumps and bendsTo the happily ever after.I finished my book and out I came. The cloak can no longer hide me. My chair and my house are just the same, But I have a book inside me.

I opened a book and in I strode. Now nobody can find me.I've left my chair, my house, my road, My town and my world behind me.I'm wearing the cloak, I've slipped on the ring,I've swallowed the magic potion.I've fought with a dragon, dined with a kingAnd dived in a bottomless ocean.I opened a book and made some friends.I shared their tears and laughterAnd followed their road with its bumps and bendsTo the happily ever after.I finished my book and out I came. The cloak can no longer hide me. My chair and my house are just the same, But I have a book inside me. Julia Donaldson
