    About this ebook

    There is no better place in the world than a library. Especially a library that kids create! A million stories high? Sure. Bathtubs? Absolutely. A full-service sundae bar? Of course. Everything is possible in this library—just like in books! Author Lindsay Leslie puts the reader in charge as the architect of a fantastical library in this imaginative picture book celebrating libraries and the joys of reading.

      It says ages 4-8, but this grandma really loved it! But then books and libraries to keep them in are the best things in the whole world. Especially with giants. And fairies. And DRAGONS! This book is great fun for the whole family. And neighborhood. And town. The illustrations are MARVELLOUS!I requested and received a temporary digital ARC of this book from Capstone via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
    • 4/5
      If you were a child, what would you put into a library? Dragons? Yes. Giants? Yes. Zip lines and bathtubs? Of Course. Now if only us pesky library directors would agree.
