OMG I want my own copy of this. A little girl is grosseed out by her librarian's enthusiasm for books, until she finds a gross book (Shrek) that sparks her own enthusiasm. My favorite part was when the girl asks her mom if they can move away and the mom says that won't work because there's a book-crazed librarian in every town. Awesome.

Came for Miss Brooks' AWESOME wardrobe, stayed for a sweet picture book about picture books.

About a very shy girl and a day in her life. Illustrations are simple and nice. Talks about the inner world of a child who is extremely shy.

Like many children his age, Archer tends to loose things, only now he has lost someone, his pet turtle! As Archer cleans in and around his room, he finds a few other things he has lost, but not his pet turtle. His mom has told him to keep up with his things, but will he find his pet?
