Lucas was convinced he was born to fly. He spent hours watching birds and airplanes in flight and tried to design his own sets of wings -- many times. But each time they failed. He wrote letters to Santa, pleading for help, but was disappointed with the toy wings and capes he received. Then one day, something magical happened, without him even knowing it. His mother put a book in his hands -- and Lucas began to fly. And fly. And fly. The Highest Mountain of Books is both a delightful story and a celebration of the wonder of books and their power to transport us to places beyond our imagination.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Lucas yearns to fly, but winged inventions and pleas to Santa continue to fail him. Wisely, his mother hands him a book and says, "There are other ways to fly, Lucas." After reading his first book, he is so amazed that he picks up another and another. He parks himself atop them and asks for more. As the stack grows precariously skyward, gap-toothed Lucas becomes oblivious to movements around him. Bonilla's humorous and whimsical paintings, which intersperse everyday scenes with fanciful ones, are captivating and colorful. Perceptive readers will recognize elements from several classic tales represented in the art and can extend the story by discussing the illustrations. VERDICT This tale about the joys of reading and imagination is a worthwhile addition to most collections, perfect for one-on-one and small group sharing.—Gaye Hinchliff, King County Library System, WA

Do you remember the moment you fell in love with reading? Were you curled up on someone’s lap? Was it during read aloud when your teacher brought a story to life? Was it the first time you hid under the covers with a flashlight hoping your parents didn’t know you were up past your bedtime? ⁣No matter the circumstances, reading is magical! It opens doors to new worlds and takes you on the best adventures. This book tells the story of how Lucas fell in love with books and reading and is sure to bring those memories flooding back!⁣

I am a 4th grade teacher, and this book is perfect for the first week of school. I use it in my reading workshop to inspire kids that, "reading can give you wings". We reference the book throughout the year, as we "travel" to new places with the books that we read.

Loved the book. Used it for my son’s elementary teachers to write in. Extra special for him since his name is Lukas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Ages 4-10
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2016
Lucas wishes he could fly. He makes himself wings and even asks Santa for a pair. Much to his disappointment he gets only toys wings which don't work! One day his mom hands him a book that allows him to fly using his imagination. Lucas gets the reading bug and reads so many books that he builds a huge mountain that takes him further into the clouds than he ever thought possible.

This is a great book for kids filled with great illustrations and a clever story line. It shows how reading books allows us to go anywhere we want just by reading. Reading is something we can enjoy all the days of our life.

Comprato per regalarlo (abbiamo già 'di che colore è un bacio', sempre di rocio bonilla), potrebbe essere la storia di tutti i bimbi che amano leggere. Perché leggere è un pò come volare 😍 illustrato con mille dettagli da riguardare.. è piaciuto subito anche ai miei bimbi .. super consigliato! In italiano ancora credo che non ci sia ancora però.. lo prenderemo così 😊
