I Took My Frog to the Library

The book I Took My Frog to the Library is a wonderful story. It is intresting because little children love to read about animals and edventures and this book has all. It explains how a little girl named Bridgett takes all different sorts of her pets to the library every day. Her pets make such a disturbance or mess they are asked to leave. She was to come by her self and leave all the animals there. But luckily her pet elephant knows how to read so he reads to the other animals while she is away. If children read this book they will probally be excited about going to the library. It is enjoyable

Paired with a tour of the school library, it's a big hit!

What a fun book! I am the library aide in a K-2 elementary school and this book was recommeded to me by a friend. I brought beanbag babies of the different animals in the book into school and read the story to each class. As we encountered each animal in the book, I looked for a good listening helper to hold that particular animal. When the book was done. We all walked around the library looking for each item, and placed the appropriate animal on the item. Then to reinforce it, I asked for volunteers to find the animal that was on each item ex. card catalog, picture books and place it back in my bag for the next class. What a big hit!

Animals In The Library!

I Took My Frog To The Library was an enjoyable book for my second graders last year. So much so, I am ordering my own copy to keep in my class this year and another to raffle off. It's a wonderful book to springboard ideas of what type of pet or animal a child would take on his/her own to the library. It's a great introduction to focus on animal facts and habits because the animals' actions in the libray have to be true to what these animals can really do in their own habitats. I think children of any elementary age would enjoy the thought of being able to bring an animal into the library. What a great book to even start a chat about what the library is like to begin with!
