REVIEW: The Library Book


 


We have a six-year-old granddaughter who spends every afternoon at our house after school. Her favorite day of the week at school is Friday. The reason for that is because Friday is library day. But because of COVID, the library has to come to each classroom, rather than allowing the children to visit the school library.


This book was an instant favorite of hers and she asks me to read it to her almost every day, along with others we choose from the stack of books at our house. She especially enjoys looking at the artwork and likes the rhyme used in the story.


This is a book young readers will enjoy, and it will help them develop an interest in libraries from an early age.


From the publisher: 
A sweet storybook recounts how a boy who doesn’t like reading is finally won over during a visit to the library.

Zach would much rather watch TV than flip through a boring book. But thanks to his friend’s stubborn efforts to show him the magic and excitement of reading, Jack finally goes to the library and finds a book he can’t put down.

Featuring simple, rhyming text by Gabby Dawnay and dynamic pen- and-ink drawings by illustrator Ian Morris, this story is an ode to the joys of reading and a love letter to books and libraries.

Illustrated in color throughout.
