Humorous take on kid's assumptions about things they don't know. In this case the first class trip to the library. Beware the laminator! (

The L I B R A R Y . . . SCARY . . . SCARY . . . SCARY . . . indeed!

Anything could be in there!

Anything could get you!

You could read something scary, see something scary, meet someone scary.

Why would A N Y O N E go there?!

A fun read - especially to readers! Older kids get all the little reference and jokes. Another good story for library week. (
