1: a gem of a story
A true gem of a story - based on fact, warm and friendly, imbued with that sense of wonder that makes all discovery exciting.
Strongly recommended for anyone, but especially for the 2nd or 3rd grader who needs to progress beyond the formulaic 'novels' popular today.

2: A Real Gem
This is by far one of the best, and most beautiful, children's books on the importance of libraries that has yet been published. The text and the illustrations convey what it must have been like in 9th century Baghdad to experience for the first time the importance and value of books. The House of Wisdom should install a love of books in its readers and may even inspire some of them to become librarians.
