The Sad Little Library Book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798234094032)

Bookster was once a shiny new library book with clean pages and a bright red cover. He couldn't wait to be checked out and loved by children everywhere. But after being bent, scribbled on, folded, and even chewed by a puppy, Bookster begins to wonder if anyone will ever care for him the way a library book should be cared for.

Everything changes when Bookster meets Mrs. Dewey and her family, who show him what it means to be handled with kindness, respect, and love.

The Sad Little Library Book is a heartwarming picture book that gently teaches children:

• how to properly care for books
• the importance of responsibility and kindness
• respect for shared library materials
• empathy and caring for the things we use every day

Filled with charming illustrations and lovable characters, this story is perfect for:

• ages 4-8
• parents and grandparents
• teachers and librarians
• classrooms, school libraries, and read-aloud time

Includes a special mini-lesson with discussion questions, book care tips, and activity ideas to encourage children to become thoughtful readers and caretakers of books.

When we take care of books, we help stories live on for everyone.
