Tiny Goes to the Library
PreSchool-Grade 1-This is the third book about the giant beige dog that follows his young owner everywhere. The best friends' latest adventure takes them (and a little blue bird that appears on every spread) to the library. With card in hand and a red wagon to haul his books home, the boy and his dog rush off enthusiastically, "Time to go!" The child chooses his books while Tiny is forced to wait outside ("Sorry, Tiny. No dogs in the library"). The cooperative pooch helps carry the books to the wagon and to pull the heavy load home. The simple sentences and expressive, cartoonlike, brightly colored illustrations will have beginning readers clamoring for more. The reading level is easier than that in Cynthia Rylant's popular "Henry and Mudge" series (S & S). Tiny is a big charmer.DeAnn Tabuchi, San Anselmo Public Library, CACopyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
