Dinosaur Vs. the Library is Bob Shea. Very short and silly but the kiddos loved it. Library Lion is by Michelle Knudsen. Not actually a super short read aloud but very cute and beautifully illustrated. Sent you the bookmarks! ;]
Love Love Love The Library Lion. It isn't a short read, but I have my kinders ROAR their loudest roar whenever Lion does, and they get a big kick out of that. I think that it is such a fun intro to the library. I adore Dinosaur vs. Bedtime, but had no idea there was one for the library. So putting that on my list for my next order. ~Sonya
No ... you're right. As is it's not a short read. I take a few artistic liberties with the read aloud. Is that terrible? It just works better with a big group to shorten it a bit. As is it's more fun with just one or two little ones. Like nieces or nephews on laps. ;]
Hey! Would love to send them but I can't find your email through your blogger profile. Send me a message at mso at msoreadsbooks dot com and I'll get 'em on their way!
I love reading The Library Lion to classes at the beginning of the year. I had seen Dinosaur vs. the Library before but never thought of using it at the beginning of the year. Thanks for the idea!
If you leave a comment I'll email you the bookmarks. I <3 comments. ;]

I would love a copy of the bookmarks! Sounds like great books to share and a quick activity during the first checkout.
