Wild About Books
by Judy Sierra, Pictures by Marc Brown

Wild About Books - by Judy Sierra Children will be enchanted hearing how animals are Wild About Books, an award-winning book written by Judy Sierra and illustrated by Marc Brown. Computer savvy “Springfield Librarian, Molly McGrew by mistake drove her bookmobile into the Zoo.” Taking advantage of the situation, Sierra’s Librarian offers each animal the appropriate book in a spirit reminiscent of Dr. Seuss. If Molly McGrew can get the reluctant animals reading, she can certainly interest kids too. Marc Brown’s colorful and warm folk art style invites older readers to find all the nuances of just how precisely Molly matches up the perfect book to each animal. Details to pore over include the raccoons reading up on Garbage Tips and A Field and Stream Guide. Fun, Clever and a great read-a-loud. There is something for everyone and every zoo animal too!
