LOST IN A BOOK: A PICTURE BOOK, by Chris Britt, Abrams Books for Young Readers, June 17, 2025, Hardcover, $18.99 (ages 4-8)
Two friends literally get lost in between the pages of a book in Lost in a Book, by Chris Britt.
Two best friends, Chad and Oliver, take a leisurely stroll through a book, but when Oliver disappears, they soon find out that some books can be an adventure!
With each turn of the page, things go hilariously from bad to worse as everyone who comes to help slips into the same situation—that is, until a librarian comes to the rescue. —Synopsis provided by Abrams Books for young Readers
Lost in a Book is a comical look at physically getting lost in the gutter of a book. Creator Chris Britt’s premise is clever and plays out with lots of silliness. His characters are fun, and his use of white space and color make the action leap off the page. And for a fun twist, there’s an interactive element that will send little readers into fits of laughter. This is a really fun read.
