Great fun from Cressida Cowell (School Librarian 2009-11-01)

There's far more going on in this book than can be caught in a first or even second read. Nursery rhyme in-jokes abound, both in the text and the informal, almost slapdash illustrations. But though the tone is generally irreverent, the thoughtful, intrigued and jubilant faces of the library patrons reflect a very appropriate attitude towards books. (Notes from the Windmill)

is lots of laughs for preschool to second grade and even older kids.... This is just the right book for parent-child reading time. (Cabarrus Neighbors)

This story not only is adorable but has got the added bonus of three pullout books inside its pages. Kids will giggle their way through this adventure, and they may even learn something about how to use a library. (Leslie Kimmelman)

Complete with three witty pull-out books, this clever selection not only entertains but sends a strong message about reading and finding just what you want at your local library.

Humor is as plentiful as Bo Peep's sheep and kids will love searching out the woolly critters in the illustrations. (Washington Parent, April 2000)

With real mini books slotted into the pages, this is a fun romp through the world of nursery rhymes.

A fun exploration of the library with the wolf close on her tail. (Reach newsletter, 1999)
