Book Description (from the author's website: http://danielkirk.com/dankirkbookspread22.html)
A small creature offers his big voice for aspiring authors everywhere!
Every child can be a writer—and Library Mouse shows them how! Beloved children's books author and illustrator Daniel Kirk wonderfully brings to life the story of Sam, a library mouse. Sam's home was in a little hole in the wall behind the children's reference books, and he thought that life was very good indeed; for Sam loved to read. He read picture books and chapter books, biographies and poetry, and ghost stories and mysteries. Sam read so much that finally one day he decided to write books himself! Sam shared his books with other library visitors by placing them on a bookshelf at night…until there came the time that people wanted to meet this talented author. Whatever was Sam to do? The joy of reading, writing, and sharing is brought to life in this warmhearted tale.
Today we had a lovely visit from the local kindergarten classes, who were entertained by a tour of the library, book readings, songs and crafts!!! A fun and busy time indeed!
One of the books that Carly read today was the "Library Mouse" by Daniel Kirk.
This is such a perfect and lovely library based book about a cute little mouse that likes to write books and share his work with the library in which he lives. Each day Sam writes a new book and every morning the library patrons who discover Sam's books marvel at his new stories and books and wonder who the author is!
This is such a cute and imaginative book that really inspires others how awesome and fun writing books can be! Everyone has a story!!!
I really enjoyed the story and I think the kids liked it too, based on how intently they listened to the story! It's a great precursor to motivate kids to write and tell stories! Make sure you pick this up for your kids next time your at the library!
Here's some pictures of today's visit!
Carly with the kids!
