Diary of a Worm: Nat the Gnat
5 stars
Author: Doreen Cronin
Illustrator: Harry Bliss
This is a beginning reading sequel to Diary of a Worm. Worm school has a new pet: Nat the Gnat. Each day one of the students takes care of the class pet. Except, when this worm puts in a damp leaf, the gnat disappears. What is the worm supposed to do? How can he own up to what he thinks has happened?
The worms are very imaginative. They make worms look cute.
The Library
5 stars
Author: Sarah Stewart
Illustrator: David Small
Elizabeth Brown loves books and reading. She spends her life acquiring and reading books. When her book collection fills her house, she donated them as the core of a library for the town.
This book is semi biographical.
The illustrations are fun. Elizabeth Brown has a book in front of her face or piles of books with her in almost every picture.
Clarence the Copy Cat
5 stars, favorite
Author: Patricia Lakin
Illustrator: John Manders
Cats are expected to catch mice. Clarence refuses to kill mice and is chased out of everywhere. Mr. Spanner, the librarian, adopts Clarence. Then a mouse invades the library.
The illustrations are great. The cats are very stylized, but their expressions are so good.
The solution is lots of fun, if impractical.
