Tibbott, Julie
Curious George: Librarian For a Day Houghton Mifflin, 2012. $3.99 PICTURE BOOK
Content: G.
George is
helping Mrs. Dewey at the library when she has to hurry away to help her book
club. George helps some patrons
find their books while she is away.
The doorman didn’t know the name of his book, but he knew that it was
yellow, so George thinks it will be easier if he reorganizes the library by
color. Another patron comes and
knows that his book is big, so George reorganizes the library books by
size. When George’s friend, Steve,
comes into the library he helps George to organize the books by subject and
then alphabetically by the author.
When Mrs. Dewey returns she is happy to see the library so clean and
organized. In typical Curious
George fashion, the cute monkey makes a mess and then learns something from his
mistakes.
In this book George learns
how libraries are organized and that it is so people can find books
easier. The illustrations are cute
and the story is simple, but it says it’s for a level one reader and the words
and concepts seemed a bit advanced for a beginner reader.
