There once was a little librarian with three owl assistants who ran a library that opened only at night and served all kinds of animals. This is the story of one night at that library, in which the little librarian and her assistants find practice space for a noisy band of squirrels, help a
This is a fun book that still manages to teach small children about the types of things that are available at their local library. For that reason, I brought it along with me for outreach at some local preschools, where even the youngest children (age 3) listened attentively and enjoyed the book.
The illustrations are unique and appealing, although a bit difficult to describe. The entire book has a background of a bright yellow and all of the illustrations are black or blue. The effect is of illustrations that "pop" off the page. The pages are neither sparse nor cluttered, providing accurate visuals to accompany the text with just a few extra details.

Having enjoyed Kohara's Ghosts in the House! and Here Comes Jack Frost!, I decided to track down The Midnight Library, and I'm glad that I did. The simple text and cute, graphically-striking artwork combine to create an appealing little confection of a picture-book, one that would make an excellent bedtime read-aloud, especially for young children who love the library.

Summer in the big city is hot, and little long-haired dachshund Hot Dog has had enough! His owner takes him to the beach so they can have a little break.
A lovely picture book with minimal words. There are so many children’s books idolizing suburbia that I’m cautious about those that discuss the

I heard the the internet really loved this book-- The Midnight Library-- and much like those off brand toys and films and cereals from my childhood, this was not what I was expecting but I was delighted by it anyway. Turns out the internet meant a completely different book, but already having
