Happy National Library Week!

Since yesterday was the kickoff to National Library Week, you will probably not be surprised to hear that our post theme today is all about libraries, librarians, and books. Today our focus is on some of our favorite kids' books that are especially related to libraries and reading.

Amelia Bedelia, Bookworm by Herman Parish. Our favorite scatterbrained housekeeper returns in this installment of the easy-reader series, and she's determined to provide her local librarian a helping hand...

Beatrice Doesn't Want To by Laura Joffe Numeroff. Beatrice doesn't like books, but her older brother is working on a report on dinosaurs so she's stuck at the library after school. Emphasizes the importance of finding the right book for the right reader!

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce. Morris Lessmore loves words, colors, and pictures. When he's abruptly transported to a dreary, colorless world, he comes upon a library full of books that need his help.
