Library Fish returns in this charming picture
book about the unusually literary fish learning to do what everyone
around her loves—read!
Library Fish wants to read! Every night, when Mr. Hughes closes up the library, she jumps out of her bowl in search of books and teaches herself how to read. Starting with the alphabet, blending sounds together, eventually Library Fish makes words and learns that words will make a story. A story she can't wait to read to a special friend.
This is the second book in the Library Fish adventures and was just as wonderful as the introductory first one. This story will teach the reading process from recognizing alphabet letters, letters making sounds, blending the sounds to form words and then how words make a story. The illustrations are so cute showing Library Fish's interest and determination in reading on her own. I did feel the text was a little too much at times on some pages making it lengthy if reading to a group. All-in-all though, it is a delightful and encouraging story about the love of books, the library and teaching yourself to read and overcoming the struggle by sticking with it. Would make a great summer reading book to read to the beginning reader. In the end, she looks forward to sharing her accomplishment with her special library friend. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 4-6.~
