Bookroo's summary

Raymond, a buffalo hero, escapes his book and roams the library, waiting for young Gilbert to find him. As days turn into years, Raymond must adapt, forging a new friendship with librarian Nicole. Will Gilbert ever return, or will Raymond's new life become his forever? Discover a tale of unexpected adventures and enduring friendships.

From the publisher

Raymond is a brave, strong and hairy buffalo. Gilbert is a quiet, growing and not-at-all hairy boy. Raymond is the hero of Gilbert’s favorite book, and Gilbert brings his favorite book everywhere. When an unfortunate incident separates the two, Raymond finds himself in a very unusual situation–outside of his book and loose in the local library! There’s nothing for Raymond to do but wait for Gilbert to come find him. But as the days turn into months and months into years, Raymond has to be brave and make a new home in the library shelves and a new friend in the librarian, Nicole. This adorably illustrated picture book celebrates the love we have for books and the strength of friendship.
