The Boy Who Was Raised by Librarians
5 stars
Author: Carla Morris
Illustrator: Brad Sneed
Melvin didn't really live in the library. However, he spent a lot of time there from when he couldn't see the top of the counter to when he left for college. The librarians were always ready to help him find answers to his questions, find him books on lots of topics, help him with his projects and encourage him.
In the illustrations Melvin progresses from a cute little kid to a cute teenager. The library looks like a place anyone would love to visit. The librarians are great.
How BIG Could Your Pumpkin Grow
3 stars
Author/Illustrator: Wendell Minor
The pumpkins keep getting bigger from garden variety to giants. Then imagination takes over taking pumpkins to ridiculous sizes.
The illustrations are beautifully done. The pumpkin expressions are good for Halloween ideas.
