Junior Easy

Reviewed by Dorothy from the Morden Branch

    A good picture book is enjoyable for many different ages and this Junior Easy book definitely qualifies. Delightfully illustrated by Michael Emberley and skillfully written by Barbara Bottner, "Miss Brooks Loves Books (and I don't)" is a book that all ages can enjoy together.

    Poor Missy.  All her classmates find books in the library that they love.  Some love books about fairies, or animals, or trains.  Missy doesn't like any of these. She claims she will never love books.

    Miss Brooks, the librarian, doesn't give up on trying to convince Missy to love books.  Will she find one that might change Missy's mind? Read this picture book to find out.

    I loved this book, not only for the enjoyment of reading it, but for the message it gently conveyed.  As librarians, we know that not everyone likes the same thing.  This is what makes libraries so important, because there truly IS a book for everyone.
