Books stay on shelves for centuries because they are strong and don’t break easily. Like a sleepy turtle, paper is quiet and doesn't get tired, it just sits there and waits. When people write on them with ink or pencil, the paper keeps holding the words even after many years. Some books are like old friends who never forget their stories.
Examples
- A book about dinosaurs is still readable after 100 years.
- Your grandpa’s favorite storybook stays on the shelf for you to read too.
- Even a little crayon drawing on a page can last for decades.
