My 3 kids and I enjoyed reading this book. As a mom I can relate to the whole book fair thing. I admit I thought it was funny. I would recommend this book to others.

Something called the Book Fair has taken over Mrs. Beamster's library, and has caused the students to worry.

fun filled guide for the uninitiated to the book fair! Kids will love the silly jokes and puns in the text and illustrations.
