An enjoyable tale, with lots of references to libraries and books. ( )

This is the story of Stella-Louella's search for her missing library book. She's awefully worried about being banned from borrowing books again if she can't find and return this one library book by 5 PM! One thing I liked about the story, though, was that each person she came across who'd found the book, had read it, and mentioned something they liked about the story. ( )

Stella Louella has lost her library book and it absolutely, positively must be returned by 5pm! My favorite book to read to children as an introduction to the library. Stella's book gets passed around the town and as she chases it (with a growing crowd) each shares their favorite part of the story. A fun guessing game for the listeners who try to figure out the name of the book Stella had checked out from the library. ( )
