When the class plans to visit the library for the first time, the students prepare themselves for the worst -- a dark dungeon of rules and misery, run by creepy monster-like creatures who laminate children if they even whisper. Imagine their surprise when they are welcomed to a warm and friendly place, where a smiling librarian invites them to explore some of the fun and funny books they have to offer. Brightly narrated by Alexander Gould, with music by Scotty Huff and Robert Reynolds and animation by Galen Fott.
Reviews:
Booklist Starred Review: "…utterly delightful animated adaption… vividly animated, and atmospheric background music and monster growls balance...the sprightly narration. Pure fun. Use this 2008 Notable Children's Video to introduce the magic of real libraries and story hour."
School Library Journal Starred Review: "Thayler's hilarious illustrtions have been animated and augmented, and backed up with original music. It’s a great way to start the school year."
Video Librarian Starred Review: "A tailor-made hit for kids and librarians alike."
