Children Book Review :: The Boy Who Was Raised by Librarians

Just imagine what it would be like to spend your days surrounded by books and those librarians that LOVE them and LOVE to SHARE.

My little guy asked, could he live in the library. Well, Yeah but where would you sleep?
We giggled and he said he would want me to stay, too!

It's all good and this wonderful book by Carla Morris, The Boy Who Was Raised by Librarians, shared the wonderful adventures of what can happen with the help of each librarian.

Check out the book and let me know if you had any experience with your local librarian that just makes your SMILE. 


Who is your favorite reference librarian??

At our little town library I adore the librarians and the way they smile and just think he is so adorable when my child loves to touch every single book, turning pages on the floor or little desks, leave a little mess of books and they just don't mind :)

Happy Reading,

Jennifer

This humorous tale of a curious young boy and his single-minded quest for knowledge is a heartfelt and affectionate tribute to librarians everywhere.

Every day after school Melvin goes to the library. Everything has its place in the library and Melvin likes it that way. And his favorite people--Marge, Betty, and Leola--are always in their places, behind the reference desk.

When something interests Melvin, his librarian friends help him find lots and lots of books on the subject. When he collects creepy bugs in a jar, they help him identify, classify, and catalog the insects. When he is cast as the Enormous Eggplant in the school play, Betty reads aloud from Organic Gardening to help him find his motivation. As the years pass, Melvin can always find the answers to his questions--and a lot of fun--in the library. Then one day he goes off to college to learn new things and read new books. Will he leave the library and his friends behind forever?

Readers will enjoy Brad Sneed's delightful illustrations that colorfully capture the fun-loving spirit of Carla Morris's story about the contagious enthusiasm of learning.

Children Book Review :: Miss Dorothy and Her Bookmobile

Now this is a job I would have LOVED!! Give me some books let me ride around and visit my friends and share some stories. We enjoyed this book. I think I did more because I loved the way she made lemonade out of those lemons she was delivered.

When I hear about stories about overcoming and taking a stand on a belief - It makes me SMILE!!

Would you have started a book mobile? what would you have done? What is your story of making lemonade?

Tell us share your story at The Cubby Corner! We hope you are enjoying these wonderful books about our librarians. Don't forget to stop by and share a smile with your local librarian

Happy Reading, 

Jennifer

Miss Dorothy and Her Bookmobile By Gloria Houston

When Dorothy was a young girl, she loved books, and she loved people, so she decided that she would become a librarian.

Dorothy's dearest wish is to be a librarian in a fine brick library just like the one she visited when she was small. But her new home in North Carolina has valleys and streams but no libraries, so Miss Dorothy and her neighbors decide to start a bookmobile. Instead of people coming to a fine brick library, Miss Dorothy can now bring the books to them—at school, on the farm, even once in the middle of a river!

Miss Dorothy and Her Bookmobile is an inspiring story about the love of books, the power of perseverance, and how a librarian can change people's lives.
