Blurb: 
In Book 3: A Day Out for Opus, Grandfather Opus is a little down because he never leaves the library. To boost his spirits, the family organizes a "trip around the world" by visiting different sections of the library and learning about all the new experiences that are possible through the pages of books. With the help of their guide, a travel book named Itinerary, the BookMann Family climbs the Eiffel Tower in France, tours the Zambezi River in Africa, and views Cairo from the top of the Pyramids. They even ride the geysers in Yellowstone National Park, visit the Grand Canyon, and learn a thing or two about trying new foods with the help of their friend Cuisine. Opus and the family realize that new adventures are theirs for taking, right there in the local library. The lessons behind this story are to teach kids to be kind to the elderly, and that the world is full of exciting places, people, and cultures. Also, this book teaches kids that the imagination can spark creativity, just by reading a book.
