If you love the classic children's books of Don Freeman, you'll love this incredibly adorable book. It would be perfect for K-2 grade class visits to the library. ( )

A young girl visiting the library reads a book about zoo animals and imagines that she would allow all kinds of creatures to visit if she were in charge of the library.

This is a fun book about imagination and creativity. I could easily picture this as a readaloud book paired with various songs about animals. The illustrations are quite striking and perfectly complement the text. ( )

Cary knows what she would do if she were the librarian. She'd invite all the animals into the library and share her favorite books with lions, bears, peacocks, and monkeys. But the trouble is, not all animals get along with each other. That's where Cary's trouble begins.

This is a picture book about a young girl named, Cary whom wants to turn the local library into a library for animals. She fantasizes about all of the animals she will be allowing into her library. Throughout the journey, Cary explains to the animals the rules of the library. In the end, the animals become loud and Cary must tell them to leave with the help of her canary. Cary then finds a new book, checks out with the librarian and flies out of the door.

This is a cute book. I think kids would enjoy this and I believe that if you could make it entertaining, they would actually believe that could happen. Younger kids especially would enjoy this because its a "silly" story. ( )
