It's been some weeks now since I've had picture books to post, but look at what I have for today!

Kiwi brought two books to share on our last visit, one an old favorite for both of us, and one that was new to me. I read The Library, by Sarah Stewart and with pictures by David Small, a long, long time ago, which means I had not read it since I started my blog! I am pleased to see it again after so many years and include it here now. It is the story of a girl/young woman/adult who reads. And reads. And reads. She does not want clothes, she does not want shoes, she wants books. Soon the number of books overtakes all the space in her house. Love how she resolves the problem!

The book that was new to me from Kiwi was The Boy Who Was Raised By Librarians, by Carla Morris and illustrated by Brad Sneed, and it was delightful! It's all about a boy, Melvin, who spends all his time in the library. He is interested in absolutely everything (so where better for him to be?) and the librarians who are always ready and able to help. His interests only expand as he grows up. Again, loved the ending.
