A Library Book for Bear

40 pp. | Candlewick | July, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-4924-1 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton. Reclusive Bear reluctantly accompanies extrovert Mouse on a library visit. Mouse's reminders about using one's "library voice" go unheeded, and Bear is hushed by another patron. He prepares to leave, but he's stopped in his huffy tracks when he overhears a librarian reading a story. The hooray-for-books message is served subtly. Bear's grouchiness and Mouse's joie de vivre come through in Denton's expressive lines.
