I would like the name and author of this poem, and the rest of the
lines of this poem.  It was used on a bookmark to promote reading,
printed by the (I think) American Library Association probably in the
70's... it starts out,
"Books, I think, are extra nice,
Through books you live, not once, but twice.
You are yourself and you are things
with fur or fins or shells or wings..."
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

Here's a slight variation on the poem, with the words "very nice"
instead of "extra nice".  Unfortunately, this person doesn't know the
source either.
