If I had to pick one book to read to the kids each night it would be The Library Lion. I picked this book out for Matthew as a birthday present earlier this year. It’s a hand illustrated story about a Lion that is allowed to visit the library just as long as he doesn’t roar. He ends up breaking this rule when someone gets hurt because he needs to catch the attention a more villainous librarian. He then believes that he is banned from the library for breaking the rules and doesn’t return until the villainous librarian tracks him down to apologize and explain to the lion and little readers of the story that sometimes it is okay to break the rules if someone is in danger.
The last time that we took this book off the shelf we practiced our best lion roars and made Library Lion cookies using sugar cookies, M&M’s, and chow mien noodles. Sammy was noticeably wishing she could take a bite of one as she sat on my lap while we decorated them.
