Author: Shantdas Manandhar

Illustrator: Abin Shrestha

Translator: Stephanie Wei

Chunu and Munu are reading in a library.

"Chunu, look at this boy spinning around. This picture is so nice!"

"Munu, look at these red blossoming flowers."

"Chunu, look at these beautiful butterflies with different colored wings."

In the library, there are books with wonderful pictures here, there, and everywhere!

"Chunu, read this. It is a book filled with songs."

"Munu, please tell me a story."

"Please tell me a story that touches the heart."

"Come Chunu, let’s sit together. You take one book, and I will take another one. Let us read together."

"Oh, what is this? A dog and a rabbit going to school!"

"Look at this bear sitting on a chair! He has warm eyes."

"I will tell you a story. Which one do you want to listen to? A story about a rabbit or a dog?"

"Tell me a story with lots of art and pictures."

"I’m so happy to be at the library. I will come here everyday to read books."

"Chunu, let’s take some books home where we can also enjoy reading them. Books can be our friends. Let’s read books, let’s love books!
