Library Lion

Library Lion
by Michelle Knudsen

so many quality things to say about this book. From the soft color palette of the illustrations to the heart-warming text, I enjoyed every aspect of this book. In addition to its easy read-ability, this book offers readers a lesson, asking "could there ever be a good reason to break the rules?" Library Lion is a self-defined "ode to that wonderful place--the library," and I can see why! This book is such a cute story to read with children to share with them the pleasure one can derive from reading and language. The publisher suggests this book for ages 4-7, but given the length and difficulty of the text I believe this book can be used for a much wider age range: as a lap book or read-aloud for younger kids and those all the way into upper elementary. Every child could benefit from sharing this book with a parent, teacher, sibling, or friend!
