We bought Wild About Books in app-form after watching the animated version from Scholastic several times. It's somehow ironic that we don't own a copy of the print title and that we've enjoyed this early childhood celebration of books in digital form. That being said, we are bibliophiles through and through and have greatly enjoyed this celebration of reading and writing, the delights of consuming and creating works of poetry and prose.
