Library Lion

Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen and illustrated by Kevin Hawkes, 2006

Brief annotation:

A lion starts visiting the local library but runs into trouble as he tries to both obey the rules and help his librarian friend.

Themes include libraries, rules, obedience and friendship.

This is a great book for first visits to the library in the school year. It is a good way to start talking about how to make the most of the library and to enjoy it while still understanding and following the rules ... within reason.
