In a world of wonder and delight,
Where colors shine so very bright,
There stands a house, all glass and gilded,
And brass that gleams like stars unfurled.

But what's this on the sidewalk path?
A chalky drawing, round and vast!
A rainbow of colors, pink and blue,
Drawn with love and passion, too.

Inside the house, so bright and bold,
There lies a floor, concrete and cold.
But fear not, for in every room,
There's felt and fluff to dispel the gloom.

So come on in and take a look,
At all the wonders in this book.
With glass and brass and colors too,
There's endless fun for me and you!
