  Joyce, Williiam. THE FANTASTIC BOOKS OF MR. MORRIS LESSMORE New York : Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2012 IL K-3, RL 3.8 ISBN 1442457023 Morris Lessmore loves words, stories and books. He is very happy. One day a terrifying hurricane blows all he loves away. He is left in a strange colorless land. Morris aimlessly wanders until he comes upon a lovely lady who is being pulled along by flying books. She gives Morris her favorite book. This book befriends Morris and leads him to a library filled with extraordinary stories. Morris’ world is filled with color again as he takes care of the books and they take care of him. Morris shares his books with others and even writes his own. Eventually Morris passes his story and his love of books to a new young caretaker. This book began as an award winning wordless animated film. There is also an app which creates Morris’ amazing world. (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award nominee, 2014)
