Library fish came to the library as a surprise. Library fish loved visitors and the stories read by Mr. Hughes, the librarian. Library fish enjoyed the rides in the bookmobile.  She knew that the bookmobile loved stories as much as she did. One winter day, Mr. Hughes did not come to the library.  Could it be that there was too much snow on the roads? Library fish used all her energy to jump out of her bowl and fly to the bookshelves. Find out who she read to through the lonely hours of the day.


While the illustrations in this book are adorable, the storyline was a bit too fantasy filled for me. I would have preferred she had an adventure with the children.
