Sophie and Sammy's Library Sleepover
PreSchool-Grade 2-- When Sophie goes with her mother to a library sleepover, her little brother Sammy (who demolishes books) stays at home. Sophie enjoys the imaginative story time, but wishes that her sibling were there to share the experience. The next night, she sets up a similar sleepover for Sammy on her bed. While the text is a little choppy, the story provides a positive introduction to the joys of books and libraries, and the warm family relationships are appealing. The colorful cartoonlike illustrations tend to be overly cute, but children will be drawn to them, and it's refreshing to see a girl's room decorated in a sports motif. An enjoyable additional purchase. --Lori A. Janick, Parkwood Elementary School, Pasadena, TXCopyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
