"I opened a book an 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 king,
And dived in a bottomless ocean.
I opened a book and made some friends,
I shared their tears and laughter
And followed their road with it's bumps and it's bends
To the happily ever after.
I finished the 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
