BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Jake doesn't love library day, he reads slowly and carefully and sometimes feels left behind. But there's a new librarian, and they make the children feel welcome. Everyone seems to find the books they are looking for, but Jake is more interested in how the new shelves have been constructed. So, Librarian Beck recommends a book on woodworking. This sparks an interest in Jake, and eventually (after several renewals and other woodworking books), Jake and his Grandpa build a Little Free Library, so the children can share books all summer long.
I love how every child is able to find what they are interested in, and that the librarian notices Jake's interest in woodworking and finds the perfect book. I liked the subtle LGBTQ nod as Librarian Beck's pronoun is they. Includes a "note" from Jake with information on visiting or building your own Little Free library.
