The rhyming text and the boldly colored pictures make this book about a trip to the library an excellent choice for a read-aloud. You could easily follow-up with a discussion about how each reader defines his/her "best book". Be sure to check out others in the series: The Best Place to Read and The Best Time to Read. Each features the same adorable male bibliophile!

Cute illustrations but not a great book for story time. I suppose it would be fine if you were a teacher trying to show kids a little about going to the library but not really for home use. Definitely not a book that held my kids' attention.

A young boy and his class are invited to the local library. The librarian introduces them to a variety of genres, in order to match each student with the best book for them.
The rhyming text adds interest to this story.

I kind of hate reading aloud books that rhyme (especially when, like with this one, the rhyme feels forced at times), but I will be using The Best Book to Read with some of my elementary school kids as a welcome to the library.

Read this to your kindergarten students at the start of the school year before their first trip to the library. This will get them excited about getting books.

I really like Michael Garland's illustrations. But this book about a visit to the library just didn't do it for me. Some of the rhymes seemed pretty forced.

It's so hard to help students pick just right books. this book is a good start to a minilesson about good fit.

A good book to read to 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders who have a trip to the library and want a storytime.

A great sample for a program - visit to the library or from the librarian

This is a good book for library instruction, so it could be used for school visits, but it's otherwise not something I'd use for storytime, unlike The Best Place to Read by the same author.

I really like "The Best Place to Read", but this one not as much. Good for a school visit introduction, though. And, the pictures are bold and colorful.

Good book about a library visit and all of the books that you can find. Rhyming, would be a good book for preschool/kindergarten storytime.

Not crazy about the rhymey-rhimey nature, but this is a must have for libraries.
