Sinopsis:

A boy finds himself in a strange library where the books come to life
From Kirkus Reviews:

A phobic 10-year-old is trapped in a library of animated literary classics in this earnest,

handsomely set out, but uninspired tale from Hanna-Barbera's CEO (creator of ``An American
Tail'') and a staff writer. Fleeing a thunderstorm, Richie Tyler comes on a large building
guarded by marble lions; inside, ``Mr. Dewey'' hands him a library card and sends him into the
shadowy stacks, where he falls in with three stubby-limbed companions- -''Adventure,'' in
eyepatch and bandanna, motherly ``Fantasy,'' and purple, self-pitying ``Horror.'' Together, they
witness Captain Ahab's climactic encounter with Moby Dick, are held prisoner by Long John
Silver, and flee on a magic carpet from a fire-breathing dragon, among other brief encounters.
The heavy, coated stock and big, bright illustrations give the book a substantial feel at odds
with its contents; the authors capture little of the flavor or spirit of their sources (and have a
strange idea of what 10-year- olds want to read). The writing can be bombastic (``Fiction A to
Z!...The place where a child's imagination can take root and grow to incredible heights!''), and
Richie is a cartoon character at best. Looking for a fictive gateway to good books? Entice
readers with Anne Lindbergh's imaginative Travel Far, Pay No Fare (1992). (Fiction. 10-12) --
