Miss Brooks Loves Books (And I Don't) Book

I loved and was touched by this book about a very, very reluctant reader and an incredibly enthusiastic school librarian who uses everything from costumes to book week to make reading fun for the school children. I chuckled on almost every page; it's a very funny book. There are too many amusing lines (in this very short book) for me to give just an example or two.

I'd have enjoyed this book even more if the book Missy finally chose to appreciate was one I liked better, and if the other books the children read, at least some of them, were among my favorites. But the books mentioned are ones children will know either because they're so often read to young children or because of movies made from them.

The illustrations are colorful and fun, and Missy's expressions are wonderful. Even kids who don't like storybooks might first enjoy the pictures. And, it's a really fun book to read aloud.
