Review

This story of a little librarian and her three assistant owls is a sweet picture book for kids up through elementary school. It would make a nice bed time story for a child resistant to sleep. This book would also make a nice introduction to an elementary school library to help explain to the students the different services and help that a librarian and assistants can offer. The illustrations are fitting and appropriate for the age group and the book is of good quality.

Overall Book Score: very good
