Product Information

"One of my favorite books, one that has a life of its own... This is an ideal book for someone who may not have a taste for reading just yet. It doesn't matter if they're a child, adolescent, or adult. The Wild Book is a story for initiating them into the maze of books and getting them enthusiastic about this unending habit. Yes, it's for everyone!" --Robotania
