A blog about children's literature from an aspiring elementary school teacher

Rubber Duck is Ready!

I visited my local library today to check out books to begin reviewing for this blog and entered the children's section very tentatively. While I greatly enjoyed reading books from this section as a child, I felt odd wandering around among the picture books, choo-choo trains, and blocks scattered around on the floor. This look of confusion must have read very clearly on my face because the librarian gently asked me if I needed help with anything. I explained that I was looking for picture books to read, because I was studying to be an elementary school teacher. She immediately hopped up from behind the desk, and within seconds was showing me around the children's section, handing me book after book, even going so far as to crawl on the floor to find books for me. In the span of 15 minutes, I had a stack of books so high I could barely see over them (no exaggerating!) and so heavy that I had to have two friends help me carry them back to my apartment. Thank you, awesome librarian! I can't wait to start reading them!
