I've been reading a ton of picture books for library school. I'm taking a children's literature and resources class this semester, and I'm putting together a list of the top 20 children's books about going to the library. This book did not make the list. I hated this book. Mike Thaler spent 75% of this book making libraries sound like torture chambers, and then tried to make up for all of it with six measly pages of happy fluff that "Golly gee, the library is great after all!" What an eyeroll...
