I Took My Frog to the Library by Eric A Kimmel

Book Genre: Comedy and Humor

Publishing Information: Penguin Putnam, Inc, 32 pages

Summary: This fictional book is about a little girl who takes different types of animals to the library. As she talks brings the animals to the library they cause different things to happen. For example the frog jumps on the librarian's desk and scares her. The python sheds its skin all over the books. At the end all the animals are left at home where they read to themselves. The pictures are colorful and demonstrate what would happen if animals really came into the library. I Took My Frog to the Library is imaginative and entertaining for children of all ages.



Personal rating: ***Good This is a good solid fun book that can be read as a read aloud for children.

Reading level: 2.5

Interest level: K-2

Integration: This book could be used to discuss social skills about how to act in the library. The animals just wanted to read, but they did innapropriate things inside the library.
In writing children could use this idea to write their own stories about what happened one day when they brought an animal to the library.

Potential Problems: The only problem that I see with this book is the fact that the little girl is breaking a rule by bringing animals in the library.
