I must use this one next year when my student first come to the library -- how fun to talk about what the library, and librarian, really is & isn't.
It’s time to go to the school library for the first time-but one student has lots of reasons to be afraid. He’s heard lots of creepy, scary tales about the Librarian from the Black Lagoon! She laminates you if you talk, uses glue to keep you from wiggling in your seat, and only reads from the card catalog during story time. My preschool aged kids enjoyed this one, just the right bit of scary and silly for them. I felt like it was a little long, there were some things the librarian did that weren’t really library specific and the book would’ve been just fine without them.
This series has been such a great read and helps kids move from the fearful unknown to the joyfully familiar.
Hilarious. A fun story about the wild rumors the kids have heard about the library and the mean librarian, Mrs. Beamster. A visit puts the rumors to rest and shows them the library can be lots of fun. I want "Overdue" stamps for the bottoms of my shoes!
I think this series of books simultaneously satisfies my children’s varied desires for books that are a little bit scary, funny, related to their own lives, and happily resolved. It has all the components they enjoy individually rolled up into one. I find most children’s series of this kind become increasingly disappointing as you move on in the series; the first is always the best, but soon they become repetitive and somewhat dull rip-offs of each other. This is not the case for me with the Black Lagoon series; each one is uniquely enjoyable despite the familiar (and for kids, comforting) pattern. This is one of my two favorites in the series.
Love this book! Great read aloud. Except the kids thought the librarian looked like me!!
