Carlo and the Really Nice Librarian by Jessica Spanyol



Carlo and the Really Nice Librarian
by Jessica Spanyol












Carlo the giraffe loves the new library. There are tons of books, colorful posters, and even a chair with wheels! But he's a little afraid of the librarian, Mrs. Chinca, with her sharp teeth and claws-until he finds out how much she LOVES books.

What a delightful colorful children's book. The story is easy to follow and the pictures are warm and friendly! The colors are bright and engaging. I thought this book was quite clever and creative.. What a great story to have an alligator as a librarian (Mrs. Chinca), a little giraffe (Carlo), father giraffe (dad) and his cat (Crackers) all in a library!

This is such a wonderful children's book to share with very young students during story time. My students loved this story and didn't want it to end. I didnt' want it to end either!

Until the next time...

A children's book a day, keeps the scary monster away!
