Our Library by Eve Bunting

Our Library by Eve Bunting, 32 pages

A beautifully illustrated book as the animals try to help Miss. Goose keep the library from closing.  The animals check out and read many books to find out how to save the library.  With Old Beaver's meadow, the animals find the perfect place to move the library.  What I loved about this book is that it teaches children to keep a positive attitude and with teamwork, anything is possible.

Kyle Keeley loves to play games.  He's not athletic like his oldest brother.  He's not smart like his middle brother.  But he is good at playing games.  So when ther eis contest for a lock-in in the new library developed by the famous game inventor Luigi Lemoncello, he has to find a way to win.  Luckily, he does.  That's when the games begin . . . for they have to win the game to exit the library.  And they only have 24 hours to do it.
I loved this book.  It is a true ode to libraries and librarians.  The whole book is filled with book references and jokes.  It is also filled with games and riddles for both the characters and the reader to figure out.  I would suggest this book to all kids, librarians, and children's book lovers.
