'Library Lion' by Michelle Knudsen is a heart warming story of a lion that visits the library. Miss Merriweather, the librarian is very strict in the library and enforces all the rules. When the lion visits the library, Miss Merriweather isn't sure what to do as there are no rules for lions in the library. It turns out that the lion is at home quite well in the library and that his paws are quiet on the floor. The lion does much good in the library, even showing Miss Merriweather that some rules can be broken for good reason. I love this story and would read it to any age elementary students.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0763622621, Hardcover)

An affectionate storybook tribute to that truly wonderful place: the library.


Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren't any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how. Michelle Knudsen's disarming story, illustrated by the matchless Kevin Hawkes in an expressive timeless style, will win over even the most ardent of rule keepers.
