Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Manners with a Library Book
Amanda Doering Tourville · 2009
70/100
👍 Worth It
Part of a well-distributed, library-friendly series with real institutional presence, and it tackles a specific situation — caring for borrowed books — that kids encounter regularly. The illustrations are appealing and the guidance is practical without being preachy. Twenty-four pages goes fast, but as a read-aloud teaching tool for K-2 it earns its place on the shelf.
