BUYING ADVISORY:, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Eli's favorite place is the library. He especially likes sitting on the braided rug and hearing stories from Miss Mudge. But one day, it rained so hard that the library and its books were in danger from a rising river, so Eli and his dad helped move all the books to the highest shelves before heading home in the driving rain. The books were saved, but the library was a mess - mud and water damage everywhere. Eli (and the town) all pitched in to save the library. Such a nice story about community partners.
I loved the illustrations, Eli is so cute and such a hard worker. An author's note at the end explains the source of the story. Saving Eli's Library would be a good story to start a conversation with a class on doing service or how kids can help with grown up projects.
