BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Nancy loved the library so much, she would talk books with the school librarian and spent Saturdays in the public library. The librarians asked her to give a talk about horse books to other kids, but Nancy turned them down. The kids at school made fun of her for liking books so much. They called her "library girl". How can Nancy get the courage to talk to the kids? 

Alright - I love Nancy Pearl - I have all her action figures, and so I was thrilled to see this darling biography! And, I discovered, it's not just for the bookish kids, Library Girl is for any child who needs a boost of self confidence. With sweet, magical illustrations, Library Girl could easily become a favorite. AJ liked the fun illustrations (Nancy calls her bicycle Charger and imagines it is a horse).
