About the book
In a world where there is no written language, a little girl encounters
some letters of the alphabet. The discovery leads Minky Binka and
her best friend on an adventure. They eventually discover books
– mental meals which you “eat with your eyes”.
And storytelling – food for thought which you “eat with
your ears”. Best of all, Minky Binka discovers that reading
unlocks a wonderful dream-machine hidden in everyone’s head
called the Imagination.
