A sweet storybook recounts how a boy who doesn’t like reading is finally won over during a visit to the library. Zach would much rather watch TV than flip through a boring book. But thanks to his friend's stubborn efforts to show him the magic and excitement of reading, Jack finally goes to the library and finds a book he can’t put down. Featuring simple, rhyming text by Gabby Dawnay and dynamic pen-and-ink drawings by illustrator Ian Morris, this story is an ode to the joys of reading and a love letter to books and libraries. Illustrated in color throughout PreS-Gr 1—A group of gleeful kids and their teacher visit a very special place—the library! The excitement is palpable as they imagine all the different kind of books awaiting them inside. All but one child, that is. Zach does not like to read at all. When asked if he will read, he offers an unequivocal "No!" and says that he would rather be at home watching TV. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm of his classmates quickly becomes contagious as they share with him books about cooking, adventures, poetry, and even his beloved soccer. Before he knows it, he is lost in a book just as his friends are. This story in verse would be great to share with a class prior to library visits. The art recalls Quentin Blake's pen and ink cartoons and invites children into the pages. VERDICT For first-timers or veteran visitors, this book is a perfect fit, and librarians seeking ways to support classroom newcomers will want to have this on hand. —Joan Kindig, James Madison Univ., Harrisonburg, VA "Scribbly line art by Morris, in a style reminiscent of Quentin Blake and Matthew Cordell, portrays an immense library with rickety ladders, a friendly dinosaur shelf, and book stacks large enough to climb... A celebration of books and literacy... Dawnay’s lines preach the thrill of finding a new read." ― Publishers Weekly "For those who love to read, the library is a wondrous place―books as far as the eye can see. Morris leans into the magic and enchantment even further: At this library, books are stacked in mountainous piles, with eager children scaling the teetering towers, trying to find the perfect tale just for them . . . Dawnay’s rhyming couplets scan well and read aloud easily . . . Here's hoping reluctant readers will be inspired to search for their own perfect books." ― Kirkus Reviews Gabby Dawnay  is a writer and poet.
